SONICS - PSYCHO/MAINTAINING MY COOL 
If one were forced to name one song that exemplifies the Sonics' revolutionary garage-punk sound, one would have to choose the bands nerve-crushing, soul-shattering 1964 landmark 'Psycho'. Boasting a drunkenly careening sax, a rampaging rhythm section and a wailing, throat-shredding vocal, this enduring classic is paired here with the attitudinal anthem 'Maintaining My Cool', which is widely regarded as one of the crowning achievements of the Sonics' Jerden years. In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity. In the decades since the Sonics first made their mark, the band's influence and mystique have grown steadily, with their relatively few recordings attaining mythic status amongst lovers of raw, undiluted rock n roll. Now, Sundazed honours the Sonics' awe-inspiring legacy with this tornadic trio of the band's original vintage 7" Jerden label singles, all originally released in 1966 and now restored to their original vinyl glory and decked out in snazzy new picture sleeves featuring fab vintage photos.

 

SONICS - THE WITCH/LIKE NO OTHER MAN 
The song that originally put the Sonics on the map is the immortal underground anthem 'The Witch'. Recorded in July 1964 and driven by a bulldozing volley of drums, a brutally insistent guitar/sax riff and a possessed Gerry Roslie vocal, the song offered a darker, nastier alternative to the relatively well-groomed sounds of the British Invasion. Its prime, primal Sonics mayhem, with a sublimely swaggering B-side in 'Like No Other Man'. In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity.

SONICS - YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ON BACKWARDS/LOVE LIGHTS 
In their mid-60s heyday, the Sonics pioneered a wildly aggressive, distortion-laden style that set a widely emulated standard for propulsive punk raunch. Driven by the commanding, blood-curdling howl of Gerry Roslie and the raucous, screaming guitar of Larry Parypa, the Tacoma, Washington quintet pioneered a pummeling, primitive and supremely infectious sound that served as the blueprint for multiple generations of garage, punk and grunge combos, none of whom ever quite managed to equal the Sonics' feral ferocity.

For their first Jerden single, the Sonics invoked their bluesier influences and their wisecracking lyrical sensibility to come up with the world-class rave-up 'You Got Your Head On Backwards'. Meanwhile, the fearsome fivesome reveals a hitherto-unheard sensitive side on the ballad flipside 'Love Lights', which is as radical in its own way as the band's rockers.

LP (Album)

BASEMENTS - I'M DEAD (BLACK) 
After their debut "Heart of stone" 7"ep on Lost In Tyme Records, the garage psych band from Thessaloniki, Greece strikes back with a brand new release. Their debut album "I'm Dead" contains 12 original recordings that will blow your mynd with their US 60s & 80s inspired garage psych tunes. Limited edition release of 350 black vinyl pieces. "Couped up in the lower quarters of their collective dwelling house bravely trying to capture the impulses and absorb all the raw electrical vibrations of the city before they are flitted up and out into the ether - into society's upper echelons and beyond. A young quintet from Thessaloniki fed from an endless succession of loud plasticised aural delights culled from a bygone age and ceremoniously beamed down to them from strange gatherings of well-wishers and soothsayers. They exist many days now on nothing more than this strict diet of guitars, organ, drums, harmonica, maracas and vocals. They are The Basements and they have now arrived to the ongoing party fueled by the cacophonous fuzz-buzz jet-roar of travelling everywhere anytime, their journey only occasionally infiltrated with the here-it-is-again clang of daybreak, to climb amidst the toils, spoils and peculiar stresses of inescapable modernity; of life to be lived and died in the fast-burning, stomach-churning candle wick reality of the clock-bating new world. Only time will tell if once more they'll poke their heads above the paraquet to crawl among the ruins for truths they seek to uncover!" ~Lenny Helsing.
