The Sonics have the honor of being pioneers of two of the most successful musical phenomena of the 20th century—garage rock and the Seattle music scene—which have not lost an iota of influence with the arrival of the 21st century. Wild live shows, provocative lyrics, and excessive distortion are some of the secrets behind their inimitable sound. In their performance at Azkena Rock Festival in 2008, we could see why their first album, Here are The Sonics!, is one of the great rock classics that cannot be missing from any fan of the genre’s collection.
