. Oh, Sleeper are turning to fans and asking for their help to fund a new EP from the band and also purchase a new trailer and repairing their touring van so they can continue touring.

The band has launched a campaign at Indiegogo and has set a $30,000 goal. As of Friday morning, they had already raised just under $7,900 dollars.

They plan to use the money for the trailer and van repairs but also to record a new EP with producer Andreas Magnusson and according to the announcement if they raise enough money they may be able record a second EP.

"We are so excited, anxious, nervous and stoked to venture out with something like this," says frontman Micah Kinard. "We know there are a lot of great methods of making and delivering music these days. After talking to several labels and looking at all of the 'crowd-funding' options, we really felt like Indiegogo was the right place to make our next move. We have gotten such passionate responses from our fans over the years, we are so excited to get even closer to them now."

Guitarist/vocalist Shane Blay adds: "We're going to be on Warped Tour all summer for the first time and we want all of our supporters to be part of the experience. Launching this EP and getting some road repairs done this way just felt perfect."
