Gig roundup: The Sounds preview new CD at Rave
Every now and again a record strikes a chord with those of us in the editorial office here and we rock it all day long until we could sing it forward and backward. One such CD was "Dying to Say This to You," the 2006 effort by Sweden's The Sounds. So, when we got a link to hear "Crossing the Rubicon," the third disc by The Sounds -- who play Saturday, May 9 at The Rave -- we were excited.

Fierce, fearless, and Swedish: The Sounds
Sweden's The Sounds take the stage like a fierce force, curating energetic dance parties by way of infectiously poppy, synth-ridden songs that sum up the attitude and allure of youth culture. The Sounds reach Milwaukee on Saturday, April 22 on its "Dying To Say This To You" tour.
