The Sounds

I fucking love "The Sounds"... this band play som new wave with a little mix of punk/pop.

so i saw them yesterday at "tivolirock", it was the second time i have seen them and they where awesome, really good performance:) i couldn't stand still:P

so they have done some really good song i the past on 3 albums:

2002 - "Living in america"

On the one hand, the Sounds recycle punk, New Wave, disco, and ladle it on thick with the cheesy keyboards. And the sound isn’t too sleek or polished, either, so that, despite the cheesy keyboards, the effect is like hearing them, keyboards and all, at a clammy, sweaty club. Considering all the bands trying for the same feel these days, the Sounds do a really bouncing, bopping, rocking pastiche of 1983.

2006 - dying to say this to you"

The group starts with a basic new wave sound—jaunty ‘80s keyboard lines and song sketches that could have turned into bad hair retreads. The Sounds’ success on this album comes with the way they rough up these songs for the recordings, primarily by using slightly overdriven guitar to add rowdier hooks. The combination splits the difference between pristine studio musicians and unwashed garage rockers.

2009 - "Crossing the Rubicon"

Vibrant and swelling with color, The Sounds’ Crossing the Rubicon is just the sort of triumphant, optimistic fare for making summer nights on the town all the more exciting.

This, their third album, functions much in the same way as their other albums do. The grand sense of effective guitar, the rock-solid synth-pop slither, and the deep anthem drive cruises through every single track while vocalist Maja Ivarsson energetically runs through her paces.

so some of "the Sounds" biggest hits is:

- "Living in America"
- "Song with a Mission"
- "Tony the Beat"
- "Painted by Numbers"
- "Night after Night"

but i love all their songs:P
