GOOD, STURDY, RELIABLE


Sometimes it's just needed. The last time I went off about "Psycho," I said that listening to it was like hitting the reset button, and you know what? It did it again tonight. There's something about the opening crash of the drums, Gerry Roslie's screaming "Whoa, baby!" like he'll never have to use his voice again. Everyone is just bashing the shit out of their instruments. Listen to it and see if you don't feel exhausted by the fade out. Listen to it a second time if you dare. The Sonics are one of my favorite types of bands. They had a handful of songs ("Psycho," "Strychnine," and "The Witch" among them) that are so intense, you can't believe that these rather normal looking guys are capable of that level of wildness.
