Sleepaway is a piano-driven indie rock band from Buffalo, New York.

History

Sleepaway formed in the spring of 2005 after the breakup of Alex Tiberia's, Brett Mikoll's, and Michael O’Mara’s local group, Southline. The band signed to New Jersey independent label No Milk Records in June 2005 and released their debut full-length album Sleepaway on June 6, 2006. It was released in Japan on Fabtone Records.

Their EP and full-length album were recorded with producer Doug White (Gym Class Heroes, The A.K.A.s). ["Sleepaway", 2006 CD, No Milk Records]

Building a fanbase, Sleepaway embarked on a national tour with 111 Records artist Rookie Of The Year. At the release of their full-length, they took local friends Believe In You with them, meeting up with Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer, River City High, and The Transit War for select dates. Their last tour supporting the full length was with The Drama Summer.

Guitarist Mike O'Mara played his last show with the band at FYE in the Walden Galleria, Buffalo, New York. At the show, posters were given out with each purchase of the band's debut album.
