!!! Here Are... the Sonics is the quintessential crude garage rocker album. The Sonics’ songs touch on such divine subjects as fast cars, dance steps, and cruel women. The lyrics are wonderfully forgettable and "!!!Here Are the Sonics!!!" gets by through sheer force of will. No songs could contain this energy. It’s actually best that the songs just give way to the frenzied power of the band. Finesse wasn’t even remotely the point of the Sonics. They blasted you away with pure rock ‘n’ roll power. Their fuzzy-sounding guitars put a twist on that high energy pounding garage & R&B. “The Witch” was the hit single that initially catapulted the Sonics in garage rock lore. Old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll songwriting like this has long since seen its demise. At some point it was simply time to move on, but it’s great to go back and check out when it worked so beautifully. These were a bunch of kids with time on their hands and a dorky conviction to cutting loose with some instruments. Gerry Rosalie is a big part of what made the Sonics so special. He did pound out some nice keyboards, but those vocals were something else. The album took some time to record because Rosalie could only do so many songs before his voice gave out from screaming. The results far surpassed his abilities on paper.
Though the group only wrote a few of the album’s songs, the covers are certainly not filler. “Do You Love Me” is one of the hardest rockers on the disc. “Have Love Will Travel” takes on hometown hero Richard Berry’s song with extreme passion. The thundering bass highlights the sound that became so important for bands like the Gang of Four, the Fall, and Wire. Rave-ups of tunes the Wailers’ “Dirty Robber” also help the album cook. Letting these hooligans into the studio to destroy these songs was part of some greater miracle.
The Sonics made music that makes you want to turn the stereo to full power, not because you have to but because you crave more of that sound. Anyone afraid their ears may bleed need but step aside. America wasn’t exactly supporting their own in 1965 buand maybe there could have not been a Stooges, or MC5 without the Sonics. Make no mistake; the Sonics were the creators and Kings of 'Garage Rock'.
Many have tried to recreate the Sonics sound with varying degrees of success. None have even held a candle to them.
The Sonics went against the grain and liked it; perhaps so will you.

CONDITION: The Cover: is crisp & strong; a thick cardboard cover retains original colors and is rated VG+ with light shelf rub = the back with group photo has only a bit of light shelf wear starting (most covers are well worn being a wear prone cover) ...the best thing is it is very solid = the seams are solid, tight...no bends, no writing, no delete marks
The Vinyl: is still glossy over both sides ...a clean "EX" (excellent) minor visual scuff is no problem as the whole LP plays clean & strong -- well taken care of, the deep groove pressing easily provides a killer clean listen to the wild garage jams exactly as released 49 years ago.... excellent clear audio all the way...no groove wear!
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
