“Sleep with Ghosts,” a collab between female-fronted North Jersey hard rock acts Reality Suite and Aurin, is the Makin Waves Song of the Week. 

The video for the collab between female-fronted North Jersey hard rock acts Reality Suite and Aurin is such hot fun, but even hotter is that the two popular bands are playing out steady again.

Meanwhile, their joint single, “Sleep with Ghosts,” is the Makin Waves Song of the Week. 

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Sleep with Ghosts” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on April 22 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com.

And a Makin Waves Interview with Reality Suite can be enjoyed here.  Founding drummer Brian King chatted extensively about “Sleep with Ghosts,” among many other things, as did front woman Kimmii Heart.
