  • Summary

  • Punk originated during the mid 1970s, but its beginnings are steeped in the underground scene dating back to the mid 1960s. Today, Andy Fenstermaker with Poetic Wax looks at proto punk and its origination, coinciding and clashing with the mid-60s garage rock of the Pacific Northwest. In particular, a little band from Tacoma, Washington called The Sonics.

    This episode of Poetic Wax digs deep into the music history of one of the earliest influences on punk rock. As The Sonics celebrate their 60th anniversary with a series of live shows (yes, they're STILL performing to this day), this is a fitting look back at their humble beginnings.
