Sir Sly
Band United States Formed 2012
Sir Sly formed in 2012 in the United States. Sir Sly has 16 chart appearances on 15 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2014–2021. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “High”, which appears on 6 lists with a best position of #6. The station that charted Sir Sly most often is 91X (San Diego, CA / Tijuana), with 4 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2017.
Sir Sly started out in 2012 as a band with no faces: singer Landon Jacobs, with Jason Suwito and Hayden Coplen on the instruments, built a following online and climbed to the top of the Hype Machine chart before they finally let on who they were. Their debut single, "Ghost", came out in March 2013 on National Anthem and Neon Gold, and "Gold" followed, reaching No. 27 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart and getting a big push from the accolade trailer for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The debut album, You Haunt Me, arrived in 2014.
Don't You Worry, Honey, in 2017, is where their glossy, moody indie pop really found its swagger, and "High" is the proof, a song so slick it ended up on 13 Reasons Why, Riverdale and Lucifer, in the film Happy Death Day, and behind NBC's Sunday Night Football all through the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The Rise & Fall of Loverboy followed in 2021, with "Material Boy" leading the charge.
