Hide your Emiglios! Today’s episode features Joe and Sal from Long Island’s iconic and returning The Sleeping! Hot off the heels of selling out their comeback show at Brooklyn’s St. Vitus, Sal and Joe give us an update on the band and what might be in store down the road. We talk about tour shenanigans, their time on Victory Records, the story behind their name and logo, Joe’s brand new super fast skates, and a ton more. We had a ton of laughs catching up with a band Mikey and I grew up seeing often and couldn’t be more excited for their success in the new year. Tune in (if you get it, you get it) and remember - if your heart ain’t broken, you’re not dead.

Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey and Tom talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 15 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are also diehard New York Islanders fans, but as we like to say we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!
