Awake! Awake! is a shoegaze band from Sofasi, Clymene. The band was founded in 2003 by four friends. Awake! Awake! is signed to Warped Records. In 2003, the band recorded a demo of Sugar/Exposure and sent it to a local radio station in Sofasi that played a lot of alternative music. The DJ receiving the demo gave it to an employee of Warped Vinyl, who subsequently passed it on to an employee of Warped Records itself. The record label decided to give the band a chance and release their first full-length studio effort Be My Man in 2004. The band was one of the first shoegaze/nu-gaze acts signed to Warped and was added to the catalogue to cater to the dream pop and shoegaze niche.
