The Sounds is a Pop-Rock Alternative-Rock five-piece act fronted by the
gorgeous blonde singer Maja Ivarsson; formed in Helsingborg, SWEDEN, the
band's line-up also includes guitarist Felix Rodriguez, keyboardist Jesper
Anderberg, bassist Johan Bengtsson and drummer Fredrik Nilsson.
The Sounds' debut CD, "Living In America", is one of the first
albums from the indie record label, 456 Entertainment; made in 2002, when
the band members were barely out of high school, the record debuted at
#4 on the Swedish Albums chart; in America, the album was issued through
New Line Records reaching the #31 spot on Billboard's Top Independent
Albums list; it firmly established the group and as one to watch as they
played more than 300 gigs since its release, logging many miles on the
Warped Tour as well as with The Strokes and
Foo Fighters.
"Dying To Say This To You", their sophomore full-length CD
was released in spring 2006 going straight into the top 10 in their home
country; the 10-song set opens up with the preceding single "Song
With A Mission" which became a minor alt-Rock radio hit in the U.S.
where the album debuted at #9 on the Independent chart and climbed to
the #107 position on The Billboard 200.
That same year Maja Ivarsson joined Cobra
Starship, a side-project of Midtown's
Gabe Saporta, that had scored a Hot Modern Rock top 40 hit with "Snakes
On A Plane (Bring It)".
The Sounds have titled their new album, "Crossing The Rubicon";
the disc, set for a June 2009 release, includes the new single "No
One Sleeps When I'm Awake".
