History
Sleepaway formed in the spring of 2005 after the breakup of Alex Tiberia's, Brett Mikoll's, and Michael O’Mara’s local group, Southline. The band signed to New Jersey independent label No Milk Records in June 2005 and released their debut full-length album Sleepaway on June 6, 2006. It was released in Japan on Fabtone Records.
Their EP and full-length album were recorded with producer Doug White (Gym Class Heroes, The A.K.A.s).
Building a fanbase, Sleepaway embarked on a national tour with 111 Records artist Rookie Of The Year. At the release of their full-length, they took local friends Believe In You with them, meeting up with Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer, River City High, and The Transit War for select dates. Their last tour supporting the full length was with The Drama Summer.
Guitarist Mike O'Mara played his last show with the band at FYE in the Walden Galleria, Buffalo, New York. At the show, posters were given out with each purchase of the band's debut album.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“It’s a very delicate surgical operation—to cut out the heart without killing the patient. The history of our country, however, is a very tough old patient, and we’ll do the best we can.”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. Sorel (Philip Merivale)
“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
