We reopen the Diary this week as our cipher chats with Rick and Tim of New Jersey's Sleeping Village, talking about how they cut their teeth in many high school bands, how the origins of the band stem from annoying their other band's singer, and knowing when the riff is right.

For the month of June, Sleeping Village is donating all sales of their music to Campaign Zero, so you should head over to their Bandcamp page and pick up their new record, Holy Water.
