Mixing honest, sincere emotion with hard, crunchy metal, has Sleepless, the new album from Adept, got the blend right? Read our review here.

Described as “boundless post-hardcore with a heavy rock backbone,” Sleepless is a trio from Simcoe County, Ontario, just north of Toronto.

I would describe Unsteady Hands as a modern rock record with punk overtones. The Canadian band certainly mixes things up a bit (as far as songwriting goes), running the gamut from slow melodic tunes to harder, edgier, punkier tunes. The latter is where I think the band really excels. I feel they are at their absolute best on the harder tunes: “Anchored,” “If I Were To Say,” and “Heavy Eyes” and can see these songs doing quite well on modern rock radio.
