    Sound the Alarm are products of their environment. They formed at the age of 12 in a small town east of Allentown, PA, and were raised on an older brother's record collection: Factor healthy doses of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin with a steady diet of modern rock bands including Incubus and My Chemical Romance, and the band's infectious sound dilates into focus.

    The song “Suffocating” is a unique amalgam of modern rock, pop and punk. The song is immediately memorable and accessible—and it also has a special significance for the band. Says Colin who wrote the lyrics for the song, “I wrote ‘Suffocating’ at the beginning of our junior year while things were just starting to pick up for us, there was uncertainty as to where we would be in the coming months. That, combined with the pressure to graduate and make a definitive decision as to what I was going to do with the rest of my life, was, at times, overwhelming. It’s just about rising above the fear of change and becoming an adult, finding direction in an area I knew nothing about.”

    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 Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson and recorded their debut album under his direction. Now in their 20s, Sound the Alarm hit the road this winter, then release their Geffen Records this summer.

Sound The Alarm’s debut album Stay Inside will be released July 17th.
