The Sounds

Indie rock
Indie rockPunk rock

The Sounds is a Indie rock and Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Morningwood, Blondie and The Cars. Those roots explain a lot about how The Sounds arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Shiny Toy Guns, Sahara Hotnights, Johnossi, Ladyhawke and Shout Out Louds, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Foxy Shazam, Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Foo Fighters and The Strokes, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around The Sounds, reaching back through Morningwood and forward to Foxy Shazam.
