Of all the garage bands that made a glorious racket in the 1960s, few if any were louder, wilder, 

or more raw than the Sonics, a Tacoma, Washington quintet whose over the top style, 

complete with roaring guitars, pounding drums, and the fevered howls of lead singer Gerry Roslie, 

anticipated the mania of punk and pushed rock & roll deep into the red zone during their 1963-1966 heyday

"HERE ARE THE SONICS!!!"

The Sonics that Wailers bassist Buck Ormsby took into a small studio and unleashed on the world show a live band at the peak of its power, ready to mow down the competition without even blinking twice. Their debut long-player (originally issued on the Etiquette imprint) is reprised here with new liner notes by Norton prexy Miriam Linna in the original mono. The flame-throwing hits of "The Witch," "Psycho," "Boss Hoss," and "Strychnine" are aboard, along with versions of "Do You Love Me," "Dirty Robber," "Have Love Will Travel," and "Walkin' the Dog" that are no less potent. This long-play vinyl reissue also boasts the addition of four bonus tracks: "Keep a Knockin'" (the original B-side of "The Witch") and three selections from an Etiquette Christmas album, "Don't Believe in Christmas," "The Village Idiot," and "Santa Claus." Another important chunk of Seattle rock & roll history...(AllMusic)
