Sound the Alarm

Sound The Alarm are products of their environment. The band formed at the age of 12 in Bangor, PA (a small town east of Allentown), and were raised on an older brother's record collection. Factor in healthy doses of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin with a steady diet of modern rock bands including Foo Fighters, Incubus and Stone Temple Pilots, and the band's infectious sound dilates into focus. Frontman Cody Jancovic, bassist Colin Ellis, guitarists Brian Chiusano, Joe Brule and drummer Rick Stephans were still in high school when they were discovered by producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, Head Automatica, Saosin) and recorded under his direction. In 2007, the band unveiled their first album, Stay Inside. But the album failed due to poor promotion and support from Universal Music Group. It was announced on February 16th on their myspace that the band is currently on an indefinite hiatus. They have not ruled out reforming at a later date, but for now the members are doing their own thing. Along with the hiatus, the band has released 2 demos on their myspace page. Read more on Last.fm.
