The SIGHS are an American power pop band from Holyoke, Massachusetts. They built their reputation playing clubs around New England over an eight year period starting in 1982. It wasn't until 1990 when they played the China Club in NYC that they caught the ear of producers, John DeNicola and Tommy Allen, eventually signing with Charisma Records in 1991. Their debut CD "What Goes On" produced by Ed Stasium (co-produced by John DeNicola and Tommy Allen) was released in 1992 on Charisma Records. Their single "Think About Soul" broke the Top 40 on the Hard 100 chart, while the band was touring with popular bands the Gin Blossoms, Dada, and Spin Doctors. The Sighs return with a third full-length, "Wait On Another Day" that brings a brand-new vitality to their harmony-drenched guitar driven-pop. Once destined to be a lost record, Wait on Another Day finds the Massachusetts-bred band drawing from an unearthed batch of demos and dreaming up a fresh sound thats hook-heavy and full of heart. Wait On Another Day is a real shock to the everyday musical system presently in place. I wouldnt be surprised to see the bands popularity continue to grow as it did in my own household. The SIGHS brand of power pop is influenced by bands like The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Everly Brothers, Raspberries, Tom Petty, and many more.
