The Sonics

The Sonics are a prominent American rock band formed in 1960 in Seattle. Known for their electric, energetic sound, they helped pioneer the garage rock movement with raw, powerful guitar riffs and dynamic vocals. Their music combines elements of rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and proto-punk. Notable for hits like "Have Love, Will Travel," the Sonics influenced many future rock and punk bands. Their gritty, aggressive style broke conventional norms of the early 1960s, making them influential in shaping the rebellious spirit of rock music.
