Swedish indie dance punkers, The Sounds, just played to a sea of almost naked bodies at the U.S. Open in Huntington Beach a few weeks ago. Spunky front-woman, Maja Ivarsson, rocked the crowd with her sultry vocals and sexy legs strutting the runway. She was in heels! It looks like The Sounds can’t get enough […]
