The Sonics are an American garage rock band from Tacoma, Washington, originating from the early and mid-1960s. They played a mixture of garage rock standards ("Louie, Louie", "Have Love, Will Travel"), early rock and roll ("Jenny, Jenny", "Skinny Minnie") and original compositions such as "Strychnine", "Psycho", and "The Witch", all based upon simple chord sequences, played hard and fast.

The classic The  Sonics Boom LP recorded in late 1965 and released in 1966 was the final Sonics album recordings on the Etiquette label.  Both albums feature the most daring and dynamic rock music ever put to 2 track tape.   The Sonics Boom simple black and white album cover is one of the most recognizable work of LP art in the world.

The original photo was taken by Northwest premier photographer Jini Dellaccio and used in the jacket designed by Zane Baker.  The Sonics 60s  recordings have remained the most recognized sounds ever listened to by aspiring musicians and multitudes of fans around the world.
