Chris Naish from the indie band The Wasted Nights had a unique idea for promoting his band: post a viral video on Youtube offering to donate 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the band’s single “Sleep When You’re Dead” to depression and suicide prevention charities.
The song, written by Chris, is about his struggles with depression so you know it’s a sincere effort from his heart. While I haven’t been able to locate any samples of the song, there is a Youtube video from one of their live performances of another song called “Never Stop” and I’d say, at only 99 cents a download, it’s worth taking a chance downloading “Sleep When You’re Dead.”
Here’s the promo video.
And, here’s the video for “Never Stop.” Listen and tell us what you think. Will you be downloading the charity single, “Sleep When You’re Dead”?
