How to describe The Sounds? Post-punk New Wave from Sweden probably sums it up. Nothing ground-breaking, but pretty solid knock-about stuff.

The gig was at Astoria 2, which is a grotty little hole but the crowd of crazy moshing scandos made up fo it.

The Sounds put on a pretty wicked energetic peformance, helped by the lovely Maja Ivarsson who is one of those coolly-blond swedish front-ladies (think Robyn with more attitude) who ‘ad it from start to finish..

Stand out tracks: Song with a Mission, Dance with Me, Living in America

Movie – Quality is really bad
