For All Those Sleeping is an American metalcore band formed in St. Cloud, Minnesota in 2007. The band combines pop punk with metalcore to create their own dynamic, hybrid sound. Consisting of singer Mike Champa, guitarist and singer Jerad Pierskalla, guitarist and keyboardist David Volgman-Stevens, and drummer Ethan Trekell, who all met in high school, as well as bassist London Snetsinger, who joined the band in 2009, the quintet has a sound that punctuates its melodic yearning with brutal breakdowns. After self-releasing their The Lies We Live EP in 2008, the band got the attention of Fearless Records, who signed them the following year. Their full-length debut, Cross Your Fingers, was released in 2010 through the label, and was quickly followed up with a second album, Outspoken, in 2012. They have toured across the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia. They did a cover of Taylor Swift's "You Belong WIth Me" for Punk Goes Pop 4 released in November 2011. On January 1 2014, Fearless Records released a video on their page on YouTube announcing bands that will be releasing albums in 2014 and For All Those Sleeping were one of the bands that will release an album in 2014.
