The Sounds mp3

The Sounds were formed when childhood friends Felix Rodriguez and Johan Bengtsson decided to form a group amongst their high school friends, enlisting Fredrik Nilsson as drummer. Maja Ivarsson, formerly a classical horn player, was invited to join as the lead singer. The group met Jesper Anderberg by chance at the Hultsfred Festival. The band's name was decided months later during a trip to London.

Their debut album Living in America was recorded in Stockholm. It earned them several "best newcomer" awards, a Swedish Grammy and a #4 position in the Swedish album charts, as well as establishing the band not only in Sweden but also in the United States. The band has played over 300 gigs since the albums release including participating in the 2004 Warped Tour and touring with the Foo Fighters and The Strokes.

In the United States, the band has had several TV appearances and magazine articles and has reputedly built up a celebrity fan base that includes Dave Grohl, Pharrell Williams, Quentin Tarantino, Bam Margera and Britney Spears.

The second album, Dying to Say This to You was recorded at Studio 880 in Oakland, California, and produced by Jeff Saltzman (producer of The Killers' Hot Fuss). The band has taken part in the 2006 Warped Tour playing the main stage. They will start the European leg of their tour in September and in October will tour with Panic! at the Disco which includes dates in London and several other major European cities.
