 The Sound: a London band born from the ashes of the punksters The Outsiders and active from 1979 to 1988.

 With the hope that The Sound will reach that firmament where Joy Division have stayed for almost three decades, and that Adrian Borland can represent the same inspiring muse in the future that Ian Curtis was for him, with whom he shares the same tragic end.
