The Sounds prepare a new album for spring

by
jamie murnane

It was pretty exciting news last month when No Doubt announced their upcoming tour, and even more so that The Sounds would be joining them for some dates. But the Swedish synth-pop band has some exciting news of their own: a new album. Finally!

Following up 2006's Dying to Say This to You will be Crossing the Rubicon, set to drop in May. The band, fronted by bisexual singer Maja Ivarsson, will perform a new song from the album this week on Last Call with Carson Daly, giving people a reason to actually watch Last Call with Carson Daly.

I, for one, will at least DVR the show so I can fast-forward through bobblehead's rambling and get right to Maja's booty shorts and microphone flinging.

The new track they'll debut is "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake," which the band recently played at their Hollywood Palladium show.

Before their three-month stint with No Doubt, The Sounds will also tour Europe with Fall Out Boy for three weeks in March and play more than 30 headlining shows of their own in major cities worldwide. Will you take one of these opportunities to see them?

    I've been waiting for this. I love The Sounds, and it makes me happy that they are reaching audiences outside of this little country of ours.. If you get the chance to watch them play live, take it. Maja is even hotter in person, and she sounds awesome too..

    I saw the Sounds a few years ago in a club in Boston. To date, it has been my favorite concert ever. The whole band blew me away but really it was Maja. Whatever that "It" stage presence quality is, she has it. It was completely awesome! If you have the chance, you have to go see the Sounds!

    Truer words were never spoken.

    I just wish they were on tour with other Swedish bands, though...I'd sell my eggs on eBay to see them on-stage with the Shout Out Louds and Ohm, or El Perro del Mar.

    I've been waiting so long for this. They are one of my favorite bands and I can't wait to hear the new songs. I hope that it is as good as the other discs.

    I would love to see them live,  but I don't think they are coming to Chile anytime soon :(

    I love The Sounds, love them. I've been waiting impatiently for the new album since they announced they started work on it. I'll try and find the performance online this weekend or next week if I can. I need to see them in concert, gotta-need-have to.
