Sleepy Days

Sleepy Days are an emerging indie rock band from Dublin, Ireland, made up of Conor Dwyer (Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar), Michael O'Kane (Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals), Alex Ganje (Bass) and Aaron Lacumber (Drums). The band met while studying at BIMM Dublin, after a chance encounter found them rallying into the college’s recording studio to help rescue a mutual friend’s end-of-year project. Their chemistry was instantly electric, and from that impromptu session, Sleepy Days was born.

The band draws from an eclectic mix of genres to craft a sound that’s uniquely theirs. Their influences range from Japanese rock to synth-pop and surf rock, and their adventurous "try everything!" attitude means that to them, no style is off limits. Their music weaves together driving grooves and dreamy chords with expansive synth textures and introspective lyrics, all anchored by a rock’n’roll spirit that keeps the energy high and the crowd hopping all night long.

In 2024, Sleepy Days headed to Dublin's legendary Windmill Lane Recording Studios, where they recorded their highly anticipated debut EP, Suburban Dystopia, released in October 2025. This included their hugely successful single Night Owl, which has garnered over 160 worldwide radio plays and 38k Spotify streams since it dropped in February 2025 ahead of the full EP. Prior to its release, Night Owl was also featured by RTÉ 2FM’s Beta Da Silva on the New Music Show as his 2FM Grassroots Pick of the Week. Sleepy Days also headlined The Workman’s Club Main Room in both March 2025 and October 2025 to celebrate the release of Night Owl and subsequently the entire Suburban Dystopia EP.

Sleepy Days are also no strangers to the world of film, having written, directed and acted in the music video for their single Night Owl, and having been centrally involved in the video’s recording, production, editing and September 2025 release ahead of their second Workman’s headline gig that year.
