Adrian Borland, mantinha um projeto de post-punk junto a Bob Lawrence e Adrian Janes, chamado The Outsiders. Após o lançamento do segundo album com a banda The Outsiders, em 1979, o grupo se dissolveu quando Bob e Adrian deixaram a banda. Assim, Borland deu vida ao The Sound. Ainda em '79, assinaram contrato com a gravadora Korova Records e, em 1980, lançaram o Jeopardy, gravado no Elephant Studio, Londres. Em 1980, Bi Marshall deixa a banda para a entrada de Max Mayers, e em '81 lançam o LP From The Lions Mouth.
O EP Shock Of Daylight, aqui postado, foi lançado em '84 e as músicas deste EP se seguiram marcantes nos shows do Sound. Este EP só peca pelo fato de ter apenas 6 músicas (bem que poderia ter sido um LP...), porém, são todas geniais, com boas letras e melodias viciantes. A New Way Of Life é, de fato, uma música perfeita. Aquele solo de guitarra aos 3:10 é simplesmente de outro mundo, é algo que vai fundo. Sem falar do baixo que é um dos mais marcantes do EP. Dream Then Plans foi a primeira paixão deste disco, principalmente depois que a escutei ao vivo no bootleg de Rotterdam que circula pela internet (e que algum dia também vai estar por aqui).
Certa vez, vi em algum lugar que o The Sound foi uma banda injustiçada dos anos 80, e concordo. Ela não teve a atenção merecida da mídia. Esse fato foi o que levou Adrian Borland a ter sintomas de alguma doença mental em meados de '85 (vai ver não aguentou ver seu genioso trabalho indo pro ralo...). Após a gravação do último LP (Thunder Up), quando em turnê pela Espanha, Borland teve alguns colapsos nervosos e a banda decidiu que era o fim. Borland prosseguiu ainda em carreira solo e como produtor de algumas bandas, porém, acabou caindo em uma depressão após o segundo disco da White Rose Transmission, resultando no seu suicídio em 26 de Abril de 1999, quando ele se atirou na frente de um trem na estação de Wimblendon.

>>> Adrian Borland, keeping a post-punk project with Bob Lawrence and Adrian Janes, called The Outsiders. After the release of the second album, the band broke up when Adrian and Bob left the band. So, Borland gave life to The Sound. In '79, they signed with Korova Records and in '80 released Jeopardy, recorded at Elephant Studio, London. 1980, Bi Marshal left the band and Max Mayers joined in the band and in '81 released From The Lions Mouth LP.
The Shock Of Daylight EP was released in '84 and the songs were very outstanding in the concerts. The bad thing of this EP is it have just 6 songs (it might as well have been a LP...). Just great songs, with great lyrics and addictive melodies. A New Way Of Life is a perfect song, indeed. That guitar solo at 3:10 is from another world, it's just something that goes deep. Not to mention the bass which is great. Dream Then Plans was the first passion from this EP, mostly when I listen to this song live in the Rotterdam bootleg that you can find on the net (and some day you will be find here to).
Once, I read that The Sound was a wronged band at the 80s, and I agree. They don't have the deserved attention. This fact led Adrian Borland to some mental illness symptoms by '85 (maybe he could not stand the fact of seeing your work being lost). After the release of Thunder Up, when the band was in tour at Spain, Borland had some nervous breakdowns and the band decided it was the end. Borland keep in solo career and being productor of some bands, but he becamed depressed and this results in your suicide at April 26, 1999, when he jumped in front of a train in Wimblendon station.
