- They sound really rather ravishing in a lets make some sunshining indiepop disposable kind of way. Music for May Day road trips to the beach and refusing to take your jacket off when you get there.

Sea Storm Blows is the debut album from The Sonnets. It was recorded in the heart of the country, South Sweden.

Influenced by Northern soul, The Beach Boys och Gram Parsons The Sonnets are aiming for soulpop full of passion, melody and harmonies all dressed up in the smartest suit. The album also contains a children's choir singing their young hearts out.

The record is already released in a speciel edition in Japan (Quince Records) and Australia (Blow Up) where the video is already on MTV with bands such as Babyshambles, Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party.

The Sonnets are five 25-year old men from small swedish town Växjö who moved to Malmö to make music together and live closer to the sea. Having only released one ep they've already been on MTV, national swedish music channel Z-TV, national radio P3, and voted as the most exciting new band by Export Music Sweden. They have also played in London and written soundtrack for two American tv-series.

Five things you've always wanted to know about the Sonnets but were too shy to ask:
1. The Sonnets' very first demo became a hit in Brazil. Singer Per went there to play a festival in front of 50 000 people.
2. Per has been a busker in London for a while.
3. Ed Harcourt wishes he came up with the name The Sonnets first.
4. The Sonnets' first gig abroad was as a headline act on a one-day-festival at The Underworld, Camden, London.
