The Winter Sounds is an indie rock band from New Orleans. These guys must be some of the hardest-working bands out there at the moment, having played a rough amount of 500 shows over the course of the past five years. Their hard work has brought them where they are today, releasing their third album, which goes by the fast title of Runner. Let's first of all put it straight that this album is definitely not an eye catcher within the genre. However, it still gives you a certain feeling of unstoppable excitement of what The Winter Sounds are going to be and sound like in the further future as an indie band. The music on Runner is strong and fascinating, but not as refreshing and innovative as I had first expected it to be.
It does however have some undoubted potential crowd favourites, which a strong touring band like The Winter Sounds most definitely needs.
It is clear as day that for the guys of The Winter Sounds, the music they make is their ultimate passion. If they keep up their hard work, Runner might be their next big leap to big future successes. We wish them good luck on achieving their goal with passion.
