Wide Awake With LOZ From WHILE SHE SLEEPS

Interview by Kyra-Jade Coombs
While She Sleeps are absolutely killing it lately. They’ve just
gone on a huge run of summer festivals in the UK & EU to some
of the biggest crowds they’ve ever played in front of. If you check
out the videos on their socials or YouTube, they are
HUGE. 
HEAVY had the chance to have a chat with their lead singer Loz
about how it’s been to experience something like that and exactly
how you prepare yourself mentally to talk out on stage. The answer
is of course, you guys! Feeling the energy from the crowd before
going out on stage being almost intoxicating and carries you
out.
It’s Australia’s turn to host these legends this September on their
Self Hell tour alongside Stick To Your Guns, Ocean Sleeper &
Boundaries. They are playing all major cities, so be sure to check
out Ticketmaster and get your tickets or visit

When asked about what he is most looking to while visiting
Australia Loz of course said “DROP BEARS!!”, our lil’ terrifying
Aussie icons. All jokes aside, he explained that Australia bears
many similarities to where he is from and feels like a second home.
We show lots of appreciation for bands who decide to fly across the
world just to come play for us. And it shows.
Self Hell is the newest album released by While She Sleeps, and
this particular album was set out to ‘ruffle some feathers’, going
against the grain of what the band would traditionally sound like.
The film clip that accompanies the self-titled song Self Hell is
excellent. It makes you feel like you have a look into their world
and who they are outside of music. Loz explained the video’s
purpose beautifully, although you’ll have to have a listen to hear
all about that.
We went on to talk about having some amazing friends in the music
industry like Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon and Alex Taylor of
Malevolence to feature on songs and what’s in stall for their live
shows. Lastly, we touched on what it takes to successfully nurture
being in a band for so long… with the same line-up all these years
I might add. This is virtually unheard of these days. The short
answer was being able to compromise, share the world load, and work
to each other’s strengths. Advice that you could apply to most
things in life.
It was super refreshing to have someone (Loz) who is genuinely a
lovely guy, so passionate and willing to have a good yarn about all
thing’s music. I have even more respect for While She Sleeps and
can’t wait to watch their show next month. Watch/listen to the full
interview to venture inside the world of While She Sleeps.
