They released their first 7\" single, the Kramer-produced \"Play,\" in 1991 on Picture Book Artifact. Four full-length albums followed, on three different independent record labels. Punk Rock City USA was released by Slumberland Records in 1993, followed by Starduster (Homestead 1994), Communist Love Songs (Homestead 1996), and The Brighter Shore (Sealed Fate 1999). They toured the United States and Europe throughout the nineties, sharing the stage with such legendary bands as Polvo, Half Japanese, Yo La Tengo, The Grifters, The Dambuilders, Nation of Ulysses, Helium, Royal Trux, Antietam, Luna, Versus, The Magnetic Fields, and Dungbeetle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver-flowing with enthusiasm and energy, Sleepyhead were a staple on the NYC indie scene in the early 90s. Playing pop with power trio abandon they slotted in nicely with bands like Small Factory and Yo La Tengo, while also rocking a little harder than either of those groups. \"Punk Rock City USA\" is actually not on the album of the same name and is one of their most frantic moments, guitar riffing wildly and drums tumbling over themselves. Exhilarating. Game Theory's \"Like A Girl Jesus\" is covered beautifully on the flip, shimmering guitars winding around Rachel's delicate vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal unplayed stock copies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressing:  1st Pressing On Vinyl.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Release:  1993.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:  Genre.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSub-Genre:  Indie \/ Punk.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN:  \u003cspan\u003eSLR 018.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType:  7\" Single Vinyl.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Punk: 7\" Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":46594342158563,"sku":"punk-7inch-vinyl","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/4980\/4365\/files\/Sleepyhead_-_Punk_Rock_City_USA_Vinyl.jpg?v=1783901094","url":"https:\/\/thecosmicpeddler.com\/es\/products\/sleepyhead-punk-rock-city-usa-vinyl","provider":"The Cosmic Peddler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
