New Way Of Life Vinyl

The Sound were an English postpunk band that formed in South London in 1979. The band was formed by lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Adrian Borland, drummer Mike Dudley, bassist Graham Bailey, and keyboardist Benita ldquoBirdquo Marshall. The Sound became known for their introspective lyrics and soaring melodies, and their debut album lsquoJeopardyrsquo was highly influential in the postpunk movement. Despite critical acclaim, the band never reached the same commercial heights as their peers and disbanded in 1988 but their music has maintained a cult following and is revered by postpunk and alternative music fans.
