Ah, the Sonics...To this day, you'd be hard pressed to find a band louder and more anarchic.
I got into them during a garage rock kick when I was 17. They played all the same rock 'n roll standards that the other garage bands played, but they managed to sound distinct from the others. I haven't listened to them in a while, I think I'm gonna have to add their first album to my vinyl wishlist.
