My 'The Sounds' testimony, haha: heard them on a Gadzooks video...thats right i said it, Gadzooks...way back. anywho...i LOVED them from that video but had forgotten their name and thus lost my way....years later I fortunately started working for a RAD company *wink wink* where I re-heard their music and INSTANTLY asked..'what is this?!?!?! i NEED to know RIGHT now' and my co-worker, also a fan, told me and i found my way in life once more :) I'm so happy The Sounds exsist and that they are so dedicated to giving their fans the best. Their music hold alot of good memories for me and is so unique...plus they have mad style! :D keep rockin!
You guys rock soooooo much, I can not wait to see you all live!
Oh my goddd, The Sounds are seriously the most amazing band and I cant seem to get enough! Their new cd is awesome!
What a great interview. I love this band and how refreshing they are compared to a lot of modern music that is all starting to sound the same.
I love how they're so normal! Great interview. I love hearing bands talk about how wonderful their fans are too.
Good interview. Its always cool to hear what a song is really written about. I love it that they appreciate the fans and the crowds that come out for them! they are such a great band and seem like such real people!
This INterview Was Deep. Cant Wait To See EM At The Key Club. What An Intimate Venue This Show Shall Be Amazing!
Great interview! I love how they represent Sweden :) Their new album is amazing and I cannot wait a second more to see them in concert again!!! :D
Love them! Great interview too :) I can't wait to see them again in the fall! I saw them with No Doubt and it was definitely the best concert I've ever been too.
I love this band!!! Can't wait to finally see them in concert!
Interesting one! The Sounds rule the world!
Felix and Maja are two of the sweetest people I have ever met, they are so down-to-earth with their devoted fans. This is why I will be a Sounds fan for life.
Awesome interview! Can't wait to see them again in Vegas 8/7. **
Awesome interview! I t wait to see them again in Vegas 8/7.
Maja and Felix rock...I saw them live and they are full of energy...one of the best bands out there today!!
I cant get enough of MAJA!I fucking love The Sounds, great interview
This is the first time I'm hearing Maja speak. She's sexier than I thought. I love her accent and her attitude. Felix seems pretty cool, too.
Nice interview! Can't wait to see you live in two days!
flawless! you guys are the best!
I love this interview everyone must see them live!
I love this interview and The Sounds! If you get a chance to catch them live consider yourself lucky. I've been a fan for years but have only seen them twice....can't wait till the fall tour :D Hit Virginia, USA!
Pretty good interview. Cant wait to see them on tour with No Doubt and Paramore!
I LOVE 'EM sooo much! Please come back to FRESNO, CA! Your guys' preformances live are awesomeeeee!
I love The Sounds. Saw them in Albuquerque. Amazing!
all around, great words, great interview, great band
Love The Sounds..great interview as always :)
amazing interview!!!
Great interview from a great band!!!! can't wait to hear more!
Amazing interview, song, album and band!! I love the sounds!
I don't think they've forgotten Sweden, NancyBlonde. . . Maybe they're just excited to finally see success in the US. Sweeet interview btw. :) Love them.
They truly are amazing and it's amazing how successful they are becoming in the US, although its irritating as a swedish fan that they seem to have forgotten us. Hearing them talk about success,dreams,songs,tour,fans and everything is amazing, it really shows that they burn for what they do,what is extremely important.
wow...i LOVE them so much! i'm extremely excited to see them live next month! i know it will be an uhhhmazing show!!
I will not die happy until I see The Sounds live. Great interview, I have a greater appreciation for 'No One Sleeps While I'm Awake' after hearing them explain it's meaning.
I've always liked "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake" but after hearing Maja and Felix explain it's actual meaning, I have a better appreciation for it. And I absolutely love the fact that they want to give all their fans the best show possible. That's how bands should be. I love the Sounds.
The Sounds > ABBA ... The Sounds inspire even in spoken word. Very motivational and insightful interview. Now go see The Sounds live!!!!
cool interview, it's interesting to find out what the song is about. saw the sounds last november in los angeles, they were amazing! can't wait to see them live again
Great interview! it's very nice to know what they think about the cities they're visiting and people they are meeting. I had the great opportunity to meet the band and they are very nice people, Maja is so kind! all members are too! I love them! Their show is awesome too :)
Spoke with Maja about the new album @ the Raleigh show, & she seems just as much of a fan of it as we are, Which is great. They're all incredibly down to earth individuals.
Nice interview. It's great to hear they like playing outside the major cities that most bands tour. See them in the small clubs while you can. I must warn you though -- once you see this band live you may not be able stop. But it's a SWEET addiction.
Great interview! I was at that Columbia show Felix was talking about. I agree with Steph, they really are two of the sweetest people I have ever met as well. Super nice and down to earth. They definitely don't act like your typical "rock star." I always thought about how hard it must be to write songs in English, (especially when they were first starting out) when English is their second language. It's hard enough for Americans to write great songs!
Felix and Maja are deff two of the sweetest people I've ever met. I think they inspire their fans as much as we inspire them<3 I really enjoyed this interview :-)
Great interview=) It is interesting to hear about the tour!
that must be fun actually, to tour cities and have NO idea where they are on the map...i wanna do that. sweet interview. cant wait for more :)
I really love this band! What a great interview and if they want to tour more small towns they should come to West Virginia, we have nothing but small towns.
Really good interview! I love that it's a video and not text. My favorite song on the new album is No One Sleeps When I'm Awake so it's nice to hear what it's about.
I love there new video "no one sleeps when im awake". i love this band, there new album-go pick it up! you won't be disappointed!! i can not wait until there fall tour, very soon! come back to pittsburgh!!=]
Love The Sounds. It's neat to hear about how they feel about touring smaller cities in the US and the meaning behind their new single.
Its a good interview. I'm glad to know what the idea was behind No One Sleeps When I'm Awake. It must have been hard to come up with full length english songs when swedish was their first language. and the songs are awesome! The Sounds are amazing.
I like their music, 1st time I heard of them.
I love The Sounds!!
Yea Felix and Maja are bad ass and The Sounds are fucking Amazing ....enough said.
