Musical #wcw: Alex Kandel of @_SLEEPERAGENT

Sleeper Agent AlexToday’s post features Alex Kandel of Sleeper Agent. At 21 years old, Alex has toured with band for 3-4 years now, releasing two albums and winning awards such as a finalist spot in Rolling Stone’s “Women Who Rock” contest. I recently saw Alex and the rest of the band perform at the Vans Warped Tour in Cleveland, Ohio, where they played a kick-ass 30-minute set.  Running through cuts including “Get it Daddy,” “Get Burned,” and Alt-Nation’s top 40 hit “Waves,” (the group’s latest single), the band ferociously churned out garage-like poppy punk sounds that were mixed perfectly for the audience’s listening pleasure. Despite being younger than all the other members in the band, Alex commanded the stage and made sure she had your full attention for the whole show. She danced around, making sure the audience got into the show as much as possible;  although the crowd did not seem as enthusiastic as she, I thought their set was the most energetic performance I had seen all day on Warped Tour. If you’re looking for some good summer musical vibes, I would definitely check out either one of the band’s albums entitled Celebrasion and About Last Night.
