With more celebrity friends than you can shake a stick at, and bringing Scandinavia's take on new-wave to this year's T on the Fringe are the Sounds, a synth-laden quintet of beautiful people from Helsingborg, Sweden. Whilst not impressing the likes of Pharrell, Tarantino or Grohl, (he only went and wore one of their t-shirts during a video shoot didn't he) the Sounds have been taking Scandinavia and much of the US by storm since their first release in 2002. The band, fronted by Debbie Harry-a-like Maja Ivarsson are purveyors of glorious synth-laden rock and roll with which toe-tapping comes as standard. With two albums under their belt and with the kind of infectious ditties that most bands wait a lifetime for (see "Living in America" and "Queen of Apology") maybe the the Sounds' time is now.
