The Sound - Biografia - Discografia

Os The Sound foram uma banda britânica do pós-punk, formada em Londres, em 1979, com ex-membros dos The Outsiders.
A banda original era constituída por Adrian Borland (guitarra, vocais), Graham Bailey (baixo), Michael Dudley (bateria) e Bi Marshall (saxofone, clarinete e teclado); este último seria substituído por Max Mayers, já no segundo álbum From the Lion's Mouth, (1981).
O som dos Sound enquadrava-se no mesmo género musical de bandas como Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes ou The Chameleons.
Após o fim da banda em 1987, Adrian Borland seguiu a sua carreira a solo, paralelamente a outros projectos de grupo (The Honolulu Mountain Daffodils e White Rose Transmission), mas devido a frequentes depressões, suicidou-se em 26 de Abril de 1999, na estação de metro de Wimbledon. Max Mayers morreria de sida em 1993. Os restante membros afastaram-se da música.
