EPYSODE 39: "Here Are The Sonics!!!". Guests: Sonics drummer Bob Bennett and filmmaker Jordan Albertsen.

In this week's epysode of The Vinyl Relics Podcast, we crank up the volume on Here Are The Sonics!!!, the ferocious 1965 debut from Tacoma’s own The Sonics—a band whose sound was decades ahead of its time.

We’re joined by Bob Bennett, the band’s original drummer, and Jordan Albertsen, writer/director of Boom! A Film About The Sonics, for exclusive commentary and behind-the-scenes stories.

Together, we dive into the legacy of this seminal album, its influence on garage, grunge, and punk—and ask the big question: Were The Sonics the first punk band?

I hope you dig "Here Are The Sonics!!!" as much as I do.
