Background
editSleep for Sleepers, formerly The Red Coterie, was a Christian alternative rock band from Whittier, California. [1][2] From 2004 to 2010, their lineup consisted of Jamey Price on bass and vocals, Chris Kellogg on guitar, and Jeff Darcy on drums, until the band was dropped from Facedown Records in late 2010 and Darcy and Kellogg left the band. Price continued the project by himself, releasing the independent EP Conditions in 2011, with Chad Jordan eventually joining the band as a drummer in 2013. After a brief West Coast tour in 2013-14, and the subsequent release of the album Discovery in June 2014, the project dissolved with Price and Jordan moving on to other projects.[2][3]
