A post-hardcore group with roots in punk and emo, alt-rockers
Sights & Sounds emerged from Canada with a self-titled debut EP in 2007. Following two more releases and a six-year break from recording, they expanded their sound with additional instruments and electronic elements for their second full-length, 2019's No Virtue.
After issuing the
Sights & Sounds EP in 2007, the lineup of vocalist/guitarist
Andrew Neufeld (
Comeback Kid), drummer Joel Neufeld (
Sick City), guitarist Adrian Mottram, and bassist Matthew Howes recorded
Sight & Sounds' full-length debut with producer
Devin Townsend. Titled
Monolith, it arrived in 2009. In addition to touring with the likes of
Bring Me the Horizon,
Billy Talent, and Architects, they added keyboardist Dave Grabowski to the official membership and returned with the EP
Silver Door on Pure Noise in 2013.
Mottram parted ways with
Sights & Sounds before they released their second album, 2019's No Virtue. Incorporating electronic elements into their already complex sound, it was issued independently in partnership with Static Era Records. ~ Marcy Donelson
