It is the first release since the bands departure from Epitaph Records.The lead single, 'Legends', was released on July 14, 2017. Records and follows the bands fourth studio album Madness (2015). Judging by how well they execute this pop/rock hybrid sound, Gossip is a risk that paid off. Gossip is the fifth studio album by American rock band Sleeping with Sirens.The album was released on September 22, 2017, through Warner Bros. It's the mature final statement on a daring record that marks a new stage for the band.

As ever, the singular element that marks it as a Sleeping with Sirens album is frontman Kellin Quinn's glorious tenor, which is pushed to new heights - singing, not screaming - on highlights like 'Trouble' and 'I Need to Know.' Elsewhere, the quintet opts for uplift and optimism, like on the overwhelmingly motivational 'Legends' and the defiant punk rock send-up 'Cheers.' Gossip ends on the powerful 'War,' which sounds more like a U2-sized arena singalong by way of a worship band than that of a mainstay on the Warped Tour. While there were subtle hints of this evolution on Madness, Gossip is bound to be divisive for fans of their older material ('Empire to Ashes' is the heaviest they get on this set). From post-hardcore blight to a now glossy sheen, the group followed a similar path as contemporaries like All Time Low and PVRIS, whose 2017 offerings also set their sights on the mainstream. Their fifth effort and major-label debut is a streamlined pop offering that says goodbye to angsty screaming, cursing, and the raucous assault that defined their first four albums. It has an authentic sound that we've been working towards all this time.Just two years after the release of the rocking Madness, Sleeping with Sirens returned as an almost different band on Gossip. We took chances, experimented, and continued to do what we do best: create art. Musically, I feel like it's the first Sirens record that sounds specifically like us.

We have the production, but there's a rawness that comes through.

We finally captured the live experience with Bendeth, explains frontman Kellin Quinn. On Gossip, Sleeping With Sirens have reached the artistic heights they began moving towards since their debut nearly 10 years ago.

The first single, Legends - a triumphant call-to-arms - has been named the official song of Team USA for Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. The 11-track set takes Sleeping with Sirens to a new era in their career, while maintaining the unique spirit that has resonated with millions of listeners since their 2010 debut album. Produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, All Time Low), the album is brimming with catchy riffs, intricate beats, and singer Kellin Quinn's soul-striking vocals.
