Rising from the Southern California scene with an anthemic musical offering, Sound Siren is a new act ready to make their impact felt. Led by frontman, guitarist, and songwriter Chris Poulson, formerly the drummer of early-2000s alternative rock act Rock Kills Kid, the band now opens a new chapter in a well-worn journey through the world of rock music.
Joining Poulson is lead guitarist Aaron Bolaño, guitar and backing vocalist Lucas Caputo, bassist and backing vocalist Alex Grossfeld and drummer Jeff Samataro. Together, they channel the infectious energy of bands like Blink-182, Sum 41 and Jimmy Eat World, bringing together the melodic hooks of pop rock with the emotional punch of 2000s punk.
Since launching their first single “The Other Guy” back in September last year, Sound Siren has been on a thrilling musical path. Their follow-up singles “Parasite” and “One of Them” quickly followed, each release sharpening their identity and connecting with an ever-growing fanbase. Then came “Time,” a powerful and reflective ballad that showcased a softer side to the band, proving they’re not afraid to drop the tempo when emotion calls for it.
Now, with their latest single “Washed Hands,” Sound Siren pivots back to their trademark energy, this time tackling the emotional chaos of a toxic relationship. The track jumps into the unraveling of trust, driven by narcissism and emotional manipulation and lands on a defiant conclusion; cutting ties and washing one’s hands of the damage. It’s a sharp, cathartic ride from start to finish.
Set up by soft piano chords and emotive vocal leads, the steady strike of drums adds a mellow rhythm as the anticipation builds towards the chorus. Launching into an epic sound of infectious melodic leads and lightly gritty guitars, the band serves up an enthralling burst of gripping pop-focused alternative rock that’s invigorating, moving and memorable all at once.
Flowing with impassioned vocal performance, punchy rhythms and slick ebb and flow, “Washed Hands” sees Sound Siren deliver a sensational listening experience of stadium-ready rock music. Cut with soaring guitar leads and a dreamy breakdown, it’s a truly stunning display of their superb songwriting and performance talents, adding to their impressive catalogue and once again hinting at an exciting new band on a compelling musical journey.
