The Sounds

Making our way further across Europe, our dance party now stops in Sweden for perennial dance-punks the Sounds. Bringing a little more piss and vinegar to their glossy synth-pop, the fivesome aren’t afraid to break away from their more indie-leaning contemporaries with high-energy stage intensity. Raw, gritty, uninhibited and unpredictable, frontwoman Maja Ivarsson has no hesitation when it comes to getting in the collective faces of her audience, but purely for the purposes of making sure they’re having as much fun facing her as she is on stage. - Brien Overly
