I’ll celebrate anyone writing about Sleep Token with an open mind, and I’ll also clap long and hard for fellow Sleepy Heads who understand the nature of the music itself. Thanks for writing about them.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! I LOVE the term “Sleepy Heads” for the fandom. And the community around this band is so great. I’ll never forget the conversation I had after a show with a couple who drove 6 or 8 hours to see them. I still have the bracelet they gave me!

Oh, color me green with envy that you’ve been to a ritual. I’m pretty desperate with despair that I failed to prioritize making it to the EIA tour this year, but I’ll correct that error at the first opportunity.

How cool you got some gear from fellow fans! I hope to go prepared to swap tokens myself. Have you stacked about the conversation you had, or the event itself? I’d love to see a pic of the bracelet, too. I’m gathering fodder ideas for things to make myself.

I need to snap a pic of the bracelet to share. I keep it my car as a little memento. It’s a friendship beads piece themed on the “Jaws” single.

That sounds clever! I’ll look for a pic if you post it. I guess I’m gonna have to channel Taylor’s Swifties. Apparently they take this kind of thing to art form.
