Following the release of their latest full-length album An Ending In Itself, the iconic alternative rock group Sleeping With Sirens is looking back on their origins by unveiling a brand-new reprise of ‘I’m Coming Home (Big Gulps).’
The track holds a special place in the group's history, serving as the very first song Sleeping With Sirens ever created and the inaugural video uploaded to their official YouTube page back in 2009. Though the original clip was a raw, single-take performance captured on a laptop webcam, the piece experienced a massive resurgence in 2026 after dedicated listeners sparked a sudden viral trend on TikTok. Moved by the massive wave of online attention, frontman Kellin Quinn stepped back into the recording booth to lay down a fully realized version of the track, marking the very first time the song has received a professional studio treatment.
“Big Gulps was the very first Sleeping With Sirens song ever written, so it’s pretty amazing to see our fans digging through our old content on YouTube and watching it take off on TikTok,” shares Kellin Quinn. “That said, the original recording was literally recorded on a MacBook back in 2009. So, I wanted to get back into the studio and properly rerecord a new acoustic version of the song. Thank you for being such incredible fans for so long and we hope you enjoy this new version of Big Gulps.”
The band's upcoming North American autumn tour will officially launch following their set at Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival on October 3rd. Featuring direct support from Rain City Drive and Shyeye, the extensive trek will trek across various regions of the United States and Canada before wrapping up at the Vans Warped Tour in Orlando on November 14th. From there, Sleeping With Sirens will head south for a Latin American run in December, followed by an extensive headlining tour across Europe and the UK spanning February and March of 2027.
computational dynamic earlier in the year, the group dropped their eagerly awaited eighth LP, An Ending In Itself, via Rise Records, where it swiftly secured a spot in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hard Rock charts during its debut week. Helmsman Will Yip (known for his work with Turnstile, Circa Survive, and Movements) produced the project, which captures a powerful balance of homecoming and self-reflection as the group reclaims the urgent energy of their early era while channeling the depth gained from years of evolution.
The effort has earned widespread acclaim from notable tastemakers like Dork, Rock Sound, Knotfest, Lambgoat, and Metal Injection. Kerrang! praised the collection as “expectation-defeating,” observing that the members have tapped into their strongest form yet, while CaliberTV hailed the project as their “best album since 2011.”
Spanning over fifteen years, seven full-length releases, an EP, a live record, and endless global touring, Sleeping With Sirens has cultivated a profound, lasting bond with their fanbase. Their live shows continue to deliver high-octane energy, reinforcing their distinct footprint within the modern rock landscape. Having helped shape the post-hardcore and Warped Tour sound of the late 2000s and 2010s, the band is now enjoying a powerful second wave as an entirely new generation of listeners uncovers their discography.
Composed of vocalist Kellin Quinn, guitarist Nick Martin, bassist Justin Hills, drummer Matty Best, alongside their newest guitarist Tony Pizzuti, the lineup remains dedicated to refining their core identity while fearlessly venturing into new sonic territory. Driven by an eye on the future and a deep-rooted commitment to their followers, Sleeping With Sirens continues to solidify their position as an enduring powerhouse in alternative music.
