Sydney-based Leonardo's Bride wrong-footed its casual listeners with this first taste of their new album, 'Open Sesame'.

Well known for producing beautiful, slow acoustic ballads as single releases, 'Sonic' is about as different as you can get.

Fast paced, loads of electric guitar and a memorable -- albeit nonsense -- lyric culminating in singer Abby Dobson asking the listener, "Can I be sonic too? " the song is a cute pop number, played by a real working band, nothing more, nothing less.

Of the song itself, guitarist Dean Manning says: "Sonic I liken to arriving at a party very drunk. But it's OK 'cause there's friends there," while singer Abby says "It's great fun; I love it. It's the only song we play that you could vaguely consider moshing to."

The hidden gems, as always, lurk on the band's b-sides. Neither of these two tracks are on the CD, and are well worth buying the single for... but only if you're in the habit of listening to b-sides.
