Putting Yourself Through Hell With AARAN & LOZ From While She Sleeps

Putting Yourself Through Hell With AARAN & LOZ From While She Sleeps

Interview by Erin Eddy
While She Sleeps are just one of the many massive bands that are included in the lineup for this year’s Good Things Festival. As such they will be on Aussie soil as of November 30, kicking off their stint here with a headlining show in Melbourne.
HEAVY had the pleasure of chatting with bassist Aaran and vocalist Loz about their impending trip over here, as well as the release of their sixth studio album, Self Hell, which is dropping on March 15, 2024.
The boys eagerly told HEAVY that they’re keen to escape the UK climate and enjoy some Aussie sunshine and that they will likely be taking the opportunity to get amongst it at Good Things and enjoy some of their favourite bands.
We also discussed the new album and the direction their music is taking.
“I think it feels like a natural progression, but also we’re trying to do something fresh for our fans,” Aaran explains. “We like to keep our fan base on its toes in terms of knowing what to expect from a new record from us. We’ve said it many times, but we don’t want to be a band that finds our sound then just sits in it.”
Listen to the full interview to get the low down on the upcoming album, Self Hell, as well as what to expect when While She Sleeps is in Australia.
The band will be performing at all three Good Things dates, as well as playing side shows on November 30 at Stay Gold in Melbourne and December 5 at The Brightside in Brisbane.
