The Sound drew its inspiration from 1960s Garage/proto-punk bands like The Seeds and The Velvet Underground. In 1979 the punk-movement got new spice to give birth to something new. Joy Division released their debut album and got acclaimed and praised around the world. One magazine called their music "Post-punk" and it stuck. Adrian Borland (from The Sound) gave the album his full attention, thus drew inspiration from the Post-punk hit by Joy Division. With these three bands mentioned, The Sound knew what to make out of their music. A year later their debut "Jeopardy" was released, made out of the influences of the three bands mentioned.
Jeopardy knows how and when to be raw as punk, melodic with their beautiful keyboard-play mixed with minimalist electric guitar and Borland's singing & fantastic song-writing. The songs in the album have all their own, unique moments that you want to hear over and over again. It's a highly addictive record. "The lower we sink, the less we care why"-style of dark but true songwriting is not only great to listen, but makes you stop and think about the themes the band portraits. Get a taste, you'll get hooked to this post-punk classic (that is highly acclaimed) and get a thirst for more.
The next album is quite on the same level as this one (fantastic), but then it started to fall apart. But this such a small band playing pretty un-familiar music made two albums worth a hundred listens. Jeopardy surprised me so good the first time, I needed to listen to it over and over, as I admired the album as a post-punk's finest gift it had offered to us... and I've snooped countless records similar to The Sound's punk-sound and still think this band delivers it the finest - being loyal to their style of sound and never give up the keyboard as the main instrument & base for many songs.
