The Sounds

A major band for those who know them, The Sounds hail from Stockholm!  They are an indie rock/new wave band that somewhat remind me of Paramore, Blondie, or the Epoxies.  I first heard this band, again, courtesy of Rock Band.  (Seriously, invest in the game.  You can find some really great music!)  Their song "Living in America" really caught my attention, so I decided that they were worth looking into.....and I was right!

The band recorded their debut album "Living in America" in Stockholm.  Shortly after its release, the band got some pretty serious attention in both Europe and the US.  In 2004 they played the Warped Tour, and in 2006 they played it again from the main stage.

They've toured with several big names including The Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Paramore, Panic at the Disco, and No Doubt.  The proudly promote four studio albums:

Living In America (2002)
Dying to Say This to You (2006)
Crossing the Rubicon (2009)
Something to Die For (2011)

Maja (Pronounced Maya) Ivarrson (Lead Singer) was named in Blender Magazine's "Hottest Women of Rock", and they weren't lying.  She's dead sexy!  A very old school vocal sound, they definitely stand out!  My favorite song by them is Living in America, but other great ones include Tony the Beat and No One Sleeps When I'm Awake.

Their songs are packed with very catchy beats, and a very cool mix of electronic sounds!  As always, follow the links and check it out!!  It might be your new favorite band!  =-)
