The Sounds announce tour with No Doubt

Swedish quintet The Sounds announce the new video for their single “No One Sleeps When I’m Awake” off of the new album, “Crossing the Rubicon,” available today everywhere. To mark the release of their third full length album, and first release in partnership with Original Signal Recordings, The Sounds have just been confirmed to perform the first single, “No One Sleeps When I’m Awake,” on “The Late Show with David Letterman” on June 15th. The irresistible song, powered by attitude, ambition, and adrenaline, will go for adds at alternative radio on May 11th. Due to the overwhelming demand on the band’s MySpace page and message boards, the band recently kicked off a headlining tour of the States beginning April 27th in Boston, MA, before embarking on a 3-month summer tour as support for No Doubt.

“Crossing the Rubicon” follows the trials and tribulations of a tight-knit group of friends that went from playing small clubs in their hometown of Helsingborg, Sweden to entertaining legions of fans around the world. From the romantic combat of “My Lover” to the irresistible insolence of “4 Songs & A Fight,” from the bittersweet “Home Is Where Your Heart Is,” to the infectious chorus of “Beatbox”, “Crossing the Rubicon” is a stunning combination of beautiful melodies, soaring guitar riffs, and boisterous beats, set to the backdrop of the highs and lows of human nature. The band, along with respected producers Adam Schlesinger, James Iha, Matt Mahaffey, Jeff Turzo, Mark Saunders and Tim Anderson produced “Crossing the Rubicon.”
