WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH



If you like music, and I mean actually LIKE music, then you should like The Sonics. It's that simple. I only really got into this band over the last couple of years and it has changed my life for the better. Just put on the ''Here Are The Sonics!'' album and do your best not to dance. Imagine all the best elements of late 50s rock'n'roll and early 60s soul, add in some thundering drums, manic howling vocals and THAT overdriven fuzz guitar, and you've got The Sonics. To say punk wouldn't have happened without the Sonics would be a bit daft, but I'm pretty sure they sped things along a bit.



And here's that guitar tone I was talking about...

Just like witches at black masses.

So you've just made it nice and safely out of the 60s. Only to get smashed squarely in the teeth by these Brummie gents. The boys in 1970, incredible.
