On Sunday October 11th, 2026, I went to Lucky Strike in Hollywood, CA to check out a couple of bands. One of them was Sound Siren a local Los Angeles Rock/Metal band that formed in 2025. The band consists of Chris Poulson (Vocals/Guitar/Songwriter), Aaron Bolano (Lead Guitar), Alex Grossfeld (Bassist), and Sebastian Persini (Drummer). I saw them setting up on stage and wanted to meet them before they played but they were super focused on being ready for their set time. From the first beat of the first song I was entranced. Talk about becoming an instant fan.
Although this band formed recently, the energy they had on stage made you think they’ve been together for a while. Chris the vocalist blew me away with his energy, and the lead guitarist, Aaron, brought the heat, tearing up the stage with killer riffs. Of course I can’t forget those deep bass cuts by Alex—on every song, every note; I completely loved it. And Sebastian ripped up the drums like they owed him something. I came in not knowing anything about them, and left with my jaw on the floor, lol. The electricity of their distinct sound, both individually and combined was completely astonishing.
If you need a new band to follow, Sound Siren should definitely be one of them. Hard rock, superb killer guitar riffs, intense drums, marvelous vocals and those deep bass tones.They certainly have that 90’s vibe, but with their own impressive and unique sound. While most of the set list consisted of rock songs including “The Other Guy” and “Crazy Beautiful,” my favorite was “Time”; it’s lyrics really resonated with me. They recently released their EP, go check them out.
