hit me hard!

chances are, you haven't heard of a new wave/indie band called the sounds. and that's a shame.

this week's hot rocker, felix rodriguez, is the band's gorgeous guitarist. i've had a crush on this eurotrash punk for ages, ever since i first saw the video for their debut single "seven days a week." he's a bit scrawny, but he's a fucking rock star. they're meant to be slight in a sexy way.

i once drove 600 miles to see the sounds with some friends - and in the end my girl cristina slept with felix on their tour bus (for the record, my friend vicki also slept with the band's keyboardist, jesper)! it was awesome to hang with the band, but even better to hear all the juicy details about my slutty friends' sexual escapades (yeah, felix is packin!).

the swedish band's new album, dying to say this to you, hits stores next month.... lead single "song with a mission" is ace. head here for a sneak peek of the video and a few top album tracks.
