Adrian Borland (December 6, 1957 – April 26, 1999) was an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and record producer.

Born in London, England, he was probably best known as the lead singer and main songwriter of The Sound. Prior to his involvement with The Sound, Borland was a part of the seminal punk rock trio The Outsiders. The latter became the first English punk band to release an album by themselves, 1977's Calling On Youth. Subsequent to The Sound's disbandment in 1987, Borland commenced a solo career. It would eventually prove to be extensive, spanning over seven full-length albums (some of which were released posthumously) and several EPs, as well as his pseudonymous membership in the Honolulu Mountain Daffodils as guitarist Joachim Pimento.

On April 26th, 1999, Adrian Borland committed suicide in London, England by throwing himself underneath a train. He was at the time recording a new album. Following Borland's death, a tribute album was released in 2001 - In Passing - A Tribute To Adrian Borland And The Sound.

The Sound were a British post-punk band fronted by Adrian Borland, which evolved from his previous band, The Outsiders. Their career spanned 1978 to 1987. They were labelmates of groups such as Echo & the Bunnymen and The Chameleons. They shared stages with bands such as The Bunnymen, The Au Pairs, Comsat Angels, Felt, Medium Medium, U2, Public Image Ltd., U.K. Subs, Eyeless In Gaza, The Stranglers, China Crisis, Fiat Lux, Shriekback, and Aztec Camera.
