The Sonics - Here Are The Sonics (1965 Tacoma, WA) | Mono Garage Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

This is Here Are The Sonics, the 1965 debut album by The Sonics, and one of the most important rock records ever made in the Pacific Northwest. Recorded in Tacoma, Washington and released on Etiquette Records, this album didn’t sound like anything else in 1965. Distorted guitar pushed into clipping, overdriven vocals, sloppy drums, and zero concern for polish. It was loud, raw, and aggressive in a way that predated punk by a decade. As someone who collects Northwest music across psych, garage, hard rock, and grunge, this record is ground zero. You can draw a straight line from this album to later Seattle sounds, from garage revivals to punk and eventually grunge. Bands didn’t just copy The Sonics, they absorbed the attitude. This is a mono rip from my personal vinyl copy, which is how this album was meant to be heard. Hot, compressed, and hitting hard right out of the speakers. 🎧 This rip comes from my personal vinyl copy. If you’re into raw garage rock, early proto-punk, or the roots of the Northwest sound, this one isn’t optional. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Tracklist 00:00 The Witch 02:36 Do You Love Me 04:53 Roll Over Beethoven 07:37 Boss Hoss 09:58 Dirty Robber 11:57 Have Love Will Travel 14:30 Psycho 16:45 Money 18:43 Walkin’ the Dog 21:24 Night Time Is the Right Time 24:20 Strychnine 26:31 Good Golly Miss Molly #TheSonics #HereAreTheSonics #GarageRock #ProtoPunk #Tacoma #PacificNorthwest #NorthwestRock #1965 #MonoVinyl #VinylRip #VinylCommunity #VinylPiper
