Technique versus rock credentials?
From an article on The Sonics (playing Cavestomp this weekend,
btw!)....<Founded in the early Sixties by refugees from other Tacoma groups,
the Sonics were newcomers to a fiercely competitive Northwest scene already
ruled by more technically accomplished bands like the Wailers (not the
Jamaican group) and Paul Revere and the Raiders. "There was no decision to
play more aggressively than the other guys," Parypa says of the Sonics'
first rehearsals and shows. "A lot of it was lack of ability. We couldn't
play with technique. So we pounded on everything instead.">
