The group continued to climb the charts with their third album "Feel" (2013), peaking at number three on the Billboard 200. Their fourth album, "Madness" (2015), released through Epitaph Records, spawned the single "Kick Me".

Sleeping with Sirens' fifth studio album, "Gossip" (2017), was released through Warner Bros. Records, while their sixth, "How It Feels to Be Lost" (2019), returned to Sumerian Records.
