Their music was raw as an open wound and wholly unrestrained -- traits that probably owed their existence to the teenaged band's penchant for full-throttle, amp-destroying music, not to mention their lack of technical ability which they celebrated instead of downplaying. The end result was rebellious noise that could rattle floors and send listeners into a foot-stomping frenzy. Even with so much dirty Grunge still caked in Seattle's corners and crevices, the Sonics produced music that makes what followed in their wake seem flat-out wimpy. - Kali HollowayGarage Rock Pioneersen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:28:26 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.816&rws=%2Fthe-sonics%2Fmusic-videos.rss The Sonics peeled out of the Northwest in 1965 with <I>Here Are the Sonics!!!</I>, a display of all the good things that emerge from the garage when clamorous guitars and thumping R&B meet at a crossroads.
