FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Sleep Broken?
Sleep Broken is an act in tribute to the band Sleep Token. Based in the south of England, Sleep Broken began their project at the start of 2025, and have since emerged as one of the fastest-growing tribute bands in recent times.
Who are the members of Sleep Broken?
The identities of these musicians matters not. We wish only to display our reverence for the music created by the group Sleep Token and establish a space for worshippers to meet and enjoy their time together.
Why make a tribute band for a group that is still active?
We have the opportunity to curate an intimate showcase of Sleep Token's unperformed songs amongst fan favourites at a more affordable and accessible scale.
Countless tributes exist for other alternative artists in a similar manner, such as The Black Charade (My Chemical Romance), Korn Again (Korn), Popestars/Ghost UK (Ghost), Fell Out Boy (Fall Out Boy), HYBRID THEORY/L1NKIN P4RK (Linkin Park), Forevanescence (Evanescence), among others.
When are you coming to [X] country?
At present, Sleep Broken only intend to perform at events taking place within the British Isles.
Does this project infringe upon Sleep Token’s copyright policy?
In short: no.
Sleep Broken have previously been in contact with RICO Management (a third-party copyright enforcement company managing Sleep Token’s IP), who have confirmed that no elements of Sleep Broken's self-produced graphics violate any copyright restrictions governing Sleep Token's visuals.
Sleep Broken’s own designs, such as the mask and logo, were purposefully created to be recognisably distinct from the Sleep Token IP while still providing a visual link to the original band’s style.
Do Sleep Token receive anything from this endeavour?
Put simply, yes.
Music venues—and anywhere else that plays music in public, such as cafés and shops—are all required to pay for what is known as TheMusicLicence. It gives these organisations permission to have copyrighted music playing in their establishments, covering both live portrayals and streamed recordings.
The licence requires performing bands to submit a written record of what has been performed to PRS. Each year, PPL and PRS count how many times songs have been played in public and distribute royalties to the publishing artists based on a pro-rata system. This ensures that the people who created and published the music receive their fair share of any earnings people make from performing their music.
