The Sounds

The Sounds have returned after a 4 year hiatus with their newest offering, Crossing The Rubicon [buy here or here]. The first single from the album is ‘No One Sleeps When I’m Awake’, which you can hear in the above video. I’d say this a softer, more polished Sounds than we’ve been treated to in the past. It’s a solid pop track, but it’s missing the rough edges, the attitude of say ‘Tony The Beat’. That’s not to say it isn’t a good tune, just that I’m anxious to hear the rest of this album to see if they’ve completely embraced this new style or if there’s a mix.

Maja’s trademark jeans have been replaced by hot pants and torn stockings, but the leather jacket is still kicking around. I could see this song playing at high school proms across America, which can’t be a bad thing as far as the band is concerned.
