Memphis rock four-piece Sleep Theory is bringing the nostalgia of Punk Goes Pop back with the release of a studio version of their cover of *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” and it’s better than ever!

The group has been celebrating some major successes lately, such as their third No. 1 on Rock Radio, Best New Rock Artist at the iHeart Radio Awards, and three sold-out headlining tours — including their European debut. 

All the buzz follows their debut album, Afterglow — with production and mixing by David Cowell and Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects) — which came out last spring.

Sleep Theory’s cover of the 2000s hit, “Bye Bye Bye,” has long been a fan-favorite during live performances, becoming a staple of their set, and having fans begging for a studio version. 

Since the release of the very first Punk Goes Pop album in 2002, which features well-known rock bands covering radio hits in their own, grungier styles, heavier covers of pop songs have been well-loved within the rock and metal communities, and Sleep Theory’s edition of the iconic *NSYNC song is no different. 

Along with releasing the studio version on all streaming platforms, complete with a recreation of *NSYNC’s recognizable self-titled album cover — featuring all Sleep Theory members, Cullen Moore (vocals), Daniel Pruitt (guitar), Paolo Vergara (bass), and Ben Pruitt (drums), and a moon insignia instead of a star — the band also released a casual, yet fun music video.
