The Sound Explosion : The Explosive Sounds Of ... 2018

The Sound Explosion were formed in Athens, Greece, in May 1991 by four young gentlemen obsessed with all the great mid 60's garage and beat bands from all parts of the world. The line up was John (vocals, 6 and 12 string Vox guitar, harmonica), Jim (Eko bass, backing vocals), Stelios (Farfisa organ, maracas, backing vocals) and Stavros (drums, tambourine). The band started playing alone and together with other bands, such us the Fuzztones, Dead Moon, the Marshmallow Overcoat and the Others. Their wylde stage act attracted the attention of garage freaks from all over the globe.

As a result, the band started recording and releasing various 45's and a full length LP/CD, which got rave reviews from fanzines and magazines and considerable airplay from radio stations worldwide. While things started looking promising for the band, studies, day jobs, army obligations, some "internal frictions" ("we hate each other in the band" was a common phrase in the Sound Explosion ranks!), alien abductions etc, sadly put a sudden end to the band in early 1997. It looked like The Sound Explosion were gone for good! Yet, some things never change... So, you're right kids... THE SOUND EXPLOSION ARE BACK!!!

Its line up is John Alexopoulos (vocals, 6 and 12 string Vox guitar, harmonica), Dimitrios Dimopoulos (Bass guitar, backing vocals), Stelios Askoxylakis (Farfisa organ, backing vocals) and Stavros Daktylas (drums, tambourine). The band has played several concerts in Greece with bands like The Fuzztones, Dead Moon, Sick Rose, Cynics, the Others The Marshmallow Overcoat and co and in Beat Festival in Italy 2005.

It split up in 1997, but reunited during the early 2000s . In the end of 2017 they started to record a new 14 song album after 24 years with general title The explosive sounds of...The Sound Explosion and it will be released in April 2018 in the label Lost in tyme records.

After 24 years since their first classic album, this legendary Greek garage band entered the studio again to record this album! 'The Explosive Sounds Of... The Sound Explosion' contains 14 songs and time seems to have stopped.

Taking their inspiration from all the classic and the most obscure American garage bands of the '60s, they have created a statement of how a true garage band should sound! A record that's gonna melt on the turntable of each fan. They're back to turn on the fuzz!

On the other side "Why Can't you see" is one of their most raw and intense recordings.The reason ? Maybe because it was recorded in a night with full moon !

Το δεύτερο single τους που ανεβάζω, και είναι και η πρώτη τους κυκλοφορία...
Με αυτό τους έμαθα μάλιστα και μετά κόλλησα μαζί τους για τα καλά.
Μα καλά, πότε πήγε κιόλας 1967 μωρό μου;
Άντε σιγά σιγά να φτιάξω και το LP τώρα...

It looked like The Sound Explosion were gone for good! Yet, some things never change... So, you're right kids... THE SOUND EXPLOSION ARE BACK!!! About a few months ago we got again back together, which is something we would never expect to happen again ever. The line is the same except for the organ, which is now handled by our brand new member Stelios Askoxylakis, who replaced Stelios Drissis, who now resides in Belgium and still remains a friend. Don't expect any big changes in our sound. We still play that old 60's styled garage punk. Currently we are rehearsing, trying to remember our old material and writing new songs and trying new cover tunes, as well. Since we've been back in action, we've done gigs here in Athens, in Salonica and Italy, and are also planning some more gigs and we may even release some new records, so watch this space!
