The Sounds started performing at the college club Shield. Frank Sinatra heavily influenced the early work of the band. The members of The Sounds were friends in middle school. The bassist was heavily influenced by his father's love for music.

The years of paying their dues paid off when The Sounds signed a record deal. Now the band is a huge draw wherever they play.

The Sounds finally knew they made it when Betty Mitchell started a fan club for the band in 1985. After starting out with a handful of members in New York, the club took off exponentially, growing to over two thousand in just a few months.

The Sounds's new release is the band's fourth album. The band is in the midst of the promotional tour for their newest release. The Sounds plans to spend some time apart after this next tour, allowing the band members to work on individual projects.

Often times, critics praise The Sounds for their ability to connect with the crowd at live shows. Rick Leffelman, a music critic from Jacksonville, has always mentioned band’s great rhythms. The Sounds’s new release has received great praise from all the critics, including Rick Harkenreader from Cleveland and Ralph Brooks from Ann Arbor.

The Sounds seamlessly blends the songs from the past record with tracks from their newest album. Phoenix has always been a haven for the group, so they are sure to schedule a show there every time they tour.
