Since being weened and wormed on the scene as The Bitchpups a little over 4 years ago, Forgotten Sleep have now left the canine soiled pavements of joy, put down all the old material and rewritten their own history. The innocent pigtails of Rachel Lewis were replaced by bass vixen Hannah Modget, who had been watching her younger brothers Gaz and Matt from the wings and she injected the missing ingredient into this already incendiary band.
The re-labelling and re-direction is necessary when you’re a band pursuing that pot of gold at the end of the A&R rainbow. It’s a shit business, you have to lick the right arses and sleep with the right whores to get anywhere near even the coffee machine at a record company. Talent? Don’t be silly, that’s just a by-product.
I’m unsure as to Forgotten Sleep’s tongue tecniques or their bedtime antics, but their talent comes by the truckload and that truck has a tank full of pure energy, unleashed everytime they switch on their amplifiers.

"Say Something" is my favourite; it kinda opens with a whimper before blasting out a perverse ‘My Sharona’ twisted riff that slams home what Forgotten Sleep are here to do – punk rock. There’s nothing nice about this music and it’s not meant to be. It’s intense and demands your attention and for a three-piece they create an awful lot of power.
Bigger and more epic than their previous guise expect to see the name Forgotten Sleep everywhere over the coming months – hell – they almost played a gig in my living room the other night!

Yeah - please - I only caught the last two sings of Dandelion Killers and missed DeMask thinking they were still the acoustic thing doing a marathon...!
