Before their was Punk, before Grunge, before PNW even got an NBA team, hell even before their was a Band named Death, their was the Sonics

Interesting. Perhaps they have a legit claim over Los Saicos as the first punk band, at least in lyrics.

Both bands first recorded in 1964, but I will say that musically The Sonics just sound like most other 60s dance hall bands with a little more distortion to their guitars. "Psycho a Go-go" sounds like it almost could be Tommy James and the Shondells.

Los Saicos on the other hand were truly a new brash, chaotic sound that English (and American) punk bands of the late 60s and through the 70s (know it or not) definitely emulated.

EDIT: These guys don't even know punk rock history. Who on earth says The Ramones started punk rock? That's not even close.
