Lauded as pioneers of “Chi-Pop” (Indie R&B/Pop), Attack the Sound (ATS) has solidified itself as a cornerstone of Chicago’s vibrant music scene. Founded by Army veteran and current Chicago Firefighter Davo Sounds, ATS masterfully fuses jazz, hip-hop, blues, gospel, and rock, crafting a sound that’s as electrifying as it is smooth. With comparisons to Leon Bridges, Black Pumas, and John Legend, the band delivers dynamic live performances that have earned them collaborations with heavy hitters like Isaiah Sharkey, Bianca Shaw, Taylor Bennett, and JC Brooks. Their undeniable talent has taken them to national television, with appearances on ABC’s Windy City Live and WGN’s People to People. Their single Love is War—secured through a sync deal with Winding Way Records—swept the Midwest Film Festival, winning Best AT Show, Judges’ Choice, and Best Cinematography. Beyond the screen, ATS has cemented its reputation on the stage. As a Chicago City Year of Music grant recipient and three-time Chicago Made Competition finalist, they’ve captivated audiences from Navy Pier’s Beer Garden to the legendary Taste of Chicago, SpringBoard Music Fest, and the International Festival of Life. Their reach extends beyond city limits, having performed internationally at North by Northeast (NXNE) in Toronto. ATS also made waves in the sports world, landing a coveted sync deal with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls for the 2019-2020 season. With an ever-growing catalog of music and a reputation for show-stopping performances, Attack the Sound continues to redefine the Chicago sound—one soul-stirring track at a time.
