Born in Manchester UK, Indie Folk outfit Sleep Walking Animals are Tom Glynn-Carney (vocals), Joe Etherington (guitar, vocals), Jack Brett (bass, vocals), Alex Parker (guitar), Nuwan Hugh Perera (keys, vocals) and Bill Caple (drums). Self-confessed reprobates with choir boy pipes, SWA grew up as friends for years before they formed the band and are incidentally bonded by a deep sense of brotherhood, which penetrates through their music, recording ethic, and live shows.
