Sounds Like A Storm

After winning the Futuresound Emerging Artists competition in 2017 and being given the chance to play a Reading & Leeds stage, unsigned quartet Sounds Like A Storm have spent the last couple of years creating “anthems for the masses,” touring the country, and “providing a voice to fill the void for r’generation.”

The band have come an awful long way since their garage-rock/punk/angsty debut Blind and Deaf, taking their experiences and the issues of the world into account, in order to create a cacophony of everything they believe in. SLAS’ debut EP, The Classic Way of Things, was released at the back end of 2019, and it featured stand-out track ‘Confessions‘: a single featuring just frontman Sennen Ludman and his guitar. It’s the softest, most honest piece of work we’ve ever seen from the band, released to fit in with International Men’s Day.

2020 was hard for everyone, obviously, but lockdown gave Sounds Like A Storm the chance to write a lot of new material, music that is “soulful and meaningful than our last outright punk sound.” The enchanting quartet is stopping at nothing to be the voice of a generation, telling me “we want to be a band for more than just the people, more than just the musicians; we want to connect with people in a humane, down-to-earth way.”
