PURCHASE the Max Vangeli/AN21 remix HERE. So far, it's looking like you can only purchase it at this location for now, but we'll be on the lookout to see if iTunes and Amazon MP3 will be carrying it as well.

I've gotten my copy, and must say, it's definitely an interesting/unique take on the song we've come to know and love. But considering the difference, it's surprising that Max Vangeli and AN21 left Jon Foreman's voice un-edited. Really shows respect. I give it a thumbs up!

KROQ played "The Sound" three times over the past weekend. KROQ is one of the two large alternative stations in Los Angeles, one of the biggest media markets in the country. Here's proof:



What we're going to need you to do now is to start sending some requests KROQ's way. Here's the link. Let's not be too crazy with requests. One every other day is sufficient for now.

Once we get more regular rotation, we can flood requests for their evening countdowns. Happy requesting!
