MOD inspired types Sound are well and truly back on the local music scene.

Since their re-launch in January the band have thrown themselves into several live performances with gusto and, to their surprise and delight, their old crowd was waiting with open arms.

Bassist Mike Hunter told the Gazette: "We would really like to say thanks to all our old fans who came along to support us at our comeback gig in January.

It was as if we had never been away.

A fantastic night was had by all.

Kendal have obviously missed us."

Like-minded Kevin Kendal, Mike Hunter, Col Thompson and Ade Head have known one another for years which the lads say helps their musical "chemistry" to fizz along nicely.

Inspired by groups such as The Jam, Paul Wellar and Ocean Colour Scene, Sound have a distinctive energy which has remained with them from their performances of the 90s .

If you fancy an adrenalin fix of "pure mod energy" the boys reckon you can't go too far wrong with Sound - see them tonight February 23, at the George and Dragon, Kendal.
