“All of my best friends,

Like to go and get fucked up”

Sleeper Agent were an indie rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky. They played from 2009 - 2015 and recorded two albums. Sleeper Agent are similar to The Von Bondies and Grouplove. They were influenced by The Black Lips and Foxy Shazam. Get It Daddy was the lead single from Sleeper Agent's debut album Celebrasion (2011) and the best song they ever made. Premier Guitar called it “a fist-bumping anthem” and “ferocious.” Get It Daddy is a punk song from a band yet to make concessions. 

“And I’m downright denim clad”
