Sleigh Bells is an American musical duo from Brooklyn, New York City, formed in 2008. The duo consists of Derek Edward Miller (guitar) and Alexis Krauss (vocals). After signing to N.E.E.T. Recordings and Mom+Pop, Sleigh Bells released their debut album, Treats, on May 11, 2010. Their follow-up album, Reign of Terror, was released on February 21, 2012.
Both members of Sleigh Bells had previous experience performing and touring in a musical ensemble. From age 17 to 22, Florida-native Derek Miller was a guitarist in the hardcore band Poison the Well. He last performed on the band's 2003 major-label debut You Come Before You, leaving the following year due to creative differences. He wrote songs while working as a waiter or barback in various cities across the United States.
@Adawi: I feel your pain, it takes a certain mood to appreciate them. I will say this, though, they did something I've never really seen before.. so I suppose they are pioneers in their own right. Saw them live - was dancing and taking Aspirin.
