Sleepy Days are an emerging indie rock band based in 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. There they found that their chemistry was instant and electric, and from that impromptu session, Sleepy Days was born.
The band enjoy drawing inspiration from a wide range 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.
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 17.5k Spotify streams since it dropped ahead of the full EP in February 2025. 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.
