While late arrivals rushed onto the grounds hoping to catch a glimpse of carrot-topped Hayley Williams closing out Paramore’s semi-sweet set for the kiddies, all five members of The Sounds were gathering at a tent far away from the maddening crowds.
And there was a line. A really long line of men, women, children and parents (and maybe even grandparents) waiting patiently to meet Maja and the boys. One guy had her autograph his chest. Many others – like the fan pictured with Ivarsson and Nilsson at right – simply wanted face time.
They came, they saw and they heard The Sounds. And it was music to their ears. Are you listening, America?

Enjoyed your review. Unable to see The Sounds because of the godforsaken traffic on I-25, so it was good to see the video. Will certainly be listening.

Thanks, Melanie. Apparently, The Sounds have a strong following here already and it'll be interesting to see how many fans they attract over the next few months on tour with No Doubt.
