The Sounds

[Puck Bond]

Never even heard of this Swedish band until a couple of months ago...until I got tickets for the No Doubt w/Paramore show and saw that this band was opening the show. Then caught one of their songs on one of my cable music channels and decided to blind buy all three of their cds...just fell in love with their music right away. Each CD is as good as the last, great raspy, sexy vocals from the lead singer Maja Ivarsson. Their songs are just infectious and have an anthemetic quality that I just dig. Comparisons to Blondie and the synth-rock new wave 80's sound is pretty fair. I am always on the lookout for female fronted rockin' bands and this is my newest fav...shame I didn't catch on to them sooner. Oh yeah and they rocked it live eventhough I only saw them for like 30 mins.

I have their new album, and Im enjoying the hell out of it.

I didn't even know of them until we started playing "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake" at work. Then I was hooked.

I used to jam out Dying to Say This to You quite a bit, but wasn't aware they had a new album. Actually, I thought that was also their first album so I guess I have a lot of listening to do.

[QUENTIN]

Don't know much, but used to date a chick who was really into them so I heard a lot of their stuff without really knowing what I was listening to. In general, I liked it, the Blondie comparisons are definitely apt.

"Hit Me Hard" is the only one I have on my computer, but I really like that one. Guess I should check out the rest.
