THE SONICS - Here Are The Sonics

At the time of its release, this LP made very little
noise outside the group's home state of Washington
- but within said home state, the Sonics themselves
were making enough noise to blow down every brick
wall between Tacoma and Torrance, California.
Seldom has a group ever been better named. The
youthful aggression in their music, coupled with
singer Gerry Roslie's '80 razorblades-a-day' vocal
attack and a selection of overwhelmingly brilliant
riffs that underpinned some of the most wildly
recorded music ever to be committed to tape,
should have made the Sonics one of the biggest
groups the world has ever known or heard.
Instead they went on to become celebrated by
generation after generation of collectors, and other
young people with an urge to rock 'n' roll. The
overwhelming importance of tracks like 'The Witch',
'Psycho' and 'Boss Hoss' has provided a template
for countless groups who've come up in their wake,
and who have achieved a level of commercial
success that they could never have achieved
without the inspiration (direct or spiritual) of the
Sonics - fellow Pacific North-Westerners Kurt
Cobain's Nirvana and their successor the Foo
Fighters being, perhaps, the most obvious
examples.
This facsimile release comes on 180g black vinyl.
We have put all the modern legal stuff including
barcode, addresses and the like on a sticker, so
your thick card LP sleeve will look as original as
possible.
