About Me

Sonorous are a fresh and original sounding Scottish 4 piece utilising a combination of both male and female vocals, guitars, synths, loops and drums. Previous material was described as “disturbingly wonderful” by Radio One and the band recently wrote and produced two tracks for the hugely successful Rockstar Games title “Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories”. After three years of hard work and dedication, Sonorous' debut album, "A Series of Unanswered Questions," is finally finished and available to buy now.
A Series of Unanswered Questions Out Now!
"A Series of Unanswered Questions" is available on iTunes and also directly from the band. The album has been getting great reviews:
"Big, bold and affecting... ...this handsome long player has real heart"
-The List
"Accomplished guitar electronica... ...this debut offering shows real promise. Worthy of comparison to Muse and Placebo"
-Daily Express
“Feels like the lost link between Final Straw and Eyes Open... Then there's the Smashing Pumpkins balladry... A stunning start for Sonorous.”
-Rick Fulton, Daily Record
“'A Series of Unanswered Questions' sounds amazing... ...loving this Sonorous stuff”
-Jim Gellatly, XFM Scotland
Sonorous have been gigging around Scotland to promote the album, getting involved with Forth One's "Forth One to Watch" competition and getting radio play with XFM Scotland as both an XFM Uploaded winner and being showcased by Jim Gellatly's X-Posure show. Sonorous are also set to feature in a live session on the same show in the future.
