Someone please tell me about this band 'The Sounds'
I'm about this band everywhere. What's your opinion?

Hmm... I couldn't find an old thread about this band... I really like them. I saw them live this past Spring and they put on a really good, fun, energetic show.

To me they sound like a current-day Blondie, and that's not just because they have a blond female singer. Great mix of pop hooks, rock guitar, and synth textures.

I saw them on Conan a couple of years ago -- they sang "Seven Days A Week"
- a bunch of their stuff is on iTunes.

Interesting I'll have to check them out....Thanks for ya'll's input![:)]

Love these guys. They really capture the 80's New Wave sound with their synth driven rock.

They're pretty good.

Pity though that it seems they have no idea about the great 80's post-punk band- "The Sound" or they would have used some other name, eh?[B)]

I missed them recently because of the heavy rain at the Frequency festival. Did not listen to their second release but I liked the first one very much.

I have their first two records but have yet to pick up the new one, although "Beatbox" is now getting played on my radio show. I think this new one has a little more of a commercial sound than the previous two (not a bad thing though).
