Editorial by Steven McDonald from allmusic.com...
A determinedly crunchy metal band with influences ranging from Slayer to Nirvana, the Sleepfarmers have spent two years on the Minnesota/NoDak rock circuit, generating cassette releases that mix live and studio cuts. Their music includes originals mixed with raucous covers, with the occasional lengthy improvisational jam. The band, consisting of guitarist Neil Wiger and drummer Jesse Fischer, has become involved with independent music distribution, starting the T-Independent label to distribute recordings by Postmortem and North Pride Posse.
