The Sound Explosion
TheSoundEx, also known as "The Sound Explosion" are a self-proclaimed Rock n' Soul band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Their self titled debut album was released in March 2005 on the Durham based inde label Captains Of Industry. When they were all 20, The Sound Explosion co-headlined The Nokia New School Of Rock Tour with The Answer and The Tokyo Dragons. The band have also toured with The Datsuns, Hell Is For Heroes, The Mooney Suzuki, International Noise Conspiracy, Million Dead, The 5678's and The Glitterati.
Early 2005 brought a headline tour, a pilgrimage to Dublin, a brainstorming session with Gordon Raphael who recorded the B-side to Apollo entitled Let It Turn Inside Itself), lots of positive reviews from the press and a nasty bite from the NME. After releasing their debut single "Apollo" in November, The Sound Explosion signed to Red Ink, Sony in January, and completed recording their second album with Paul Reeve in October.
