The band released their debut album Here Are The Sonics in 1965. That same year, they released “Have Love Will Travel”, which is their best known song. Their second album, Boom, was released in 1966 with Introducing The Sonics in 1967.

The new album comes from three original members of the group, Jerry Roslie on vocals and keys, Larry Parypa on vocals and guitar and multi-instrumentalist Rob Lind. The record was produced in Seattle by Jim Diamond.
