Soundso (English: So and So) is the third studio album by the German band Wir sind Helden. The first glimpse of this album could be caught when the band released the single "Endlich ein Grund zur Panik", which had a video clip featuring the band in superhero costumes. Before the album was released on 25 May 2007, a radio station from Munich played the whole album without permission, therefore revealing that the album was available as an illegal download before its release.
