The Winter Sounds

Atmospheric indie-rock band the Winter Sounds hails from illustrious Athens, Georgia, birthplace of groundbreaking music for the past three decades. Signed by Livewire Recordings just within the last year, the label recently released the Winter Sounds’ debut album Porcelain Empire, a world of dreamy, new-wave synth-pop that echoes the sounds of Interpol, the Killers, Sister of Mercy and the Smiths. The band stops by Bufffalo mid-way though a near year-long tour that began in March and is set to continue through the end of December. The Winter Sounds plays at Merlin’s next Thursday (Aug. 16) with support from Drivers to Warsaw and Nick Gordon. The show starts at 9:30pm.
