Dear Boss

The Sound is a British post-punk band formed in South London in 1979. Led by singer and songwriter Adrian Borland, the band released several critically acclaimed albums throughout the 1980s. Known for their intense and atmospheric sound, The Sound blended elements of punk, new wave, and alternative rock to create a unique musical style. Their lyrics often explored themes of isolation, despair, and social commentary. Despite achieving limited commercial success during their active years, The Sound's influence on later generations of musicians cannot be overstated.

With their distinctive guitar-driven sound and Borland's emotive vocals, The Sound created music that resonated with listeners who were drawn to its raw energy and introspective lyrics. Songs like "Sense of Purpose" and "Winning" showcased the band's ability to craft powerful melodies while addressing universal themes of hope and longing.

Tragically, The Sound disbanded in 1988 after struggling with personal issues within the group. However, their legacy lives on through their dedicated fanbase and the continued admiration from fellow musicians. Today, The Sound remains an influential force in the post-punk genre, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire new generations of artists.

Live at Paradiso, Amsterdam, March 8th 1981 - FM Broadcast. Although they released six albums in their lifetime, The Sound, who formed in early 1979 and broke up in late 1987, were undervalued in their own country, always attracting only a small audience. 200 miles away from their native South London and across the North Sea in the Netherlands, The Sound, however, had a fanatical following, regularly filling out 2000 capacity venues and at one point in the early '80s outselling both U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen there. This performance was recorded at the Amsterdam Paradiso on the 8th March 1981 on the last night of the band's four-date first Dutch tour.
