UncutApr 29, 2015A wonderfully anomalous effort. [Jun 2015, p.81]
-
The WireMay 15, 2015The Sonics actually sound like they're back. [May 2015, p.53]

Jun 15, 2015While nothing quite matches the brutalist stomps of your youth, there’s a savage intensity at work here.

Apr 30, 2015They're more punk at 70 than a truckload of Sex Pistols 45s, and still decimate every other band in your record collection.

Apr 3, 2015R&B informed the Sonics’ unhinged passion from the get-go, and This Is the Sonics pays proper homage to the group’s roots.

Mar 31, 2015They keep up with the kids so convincingly, though, that The Sonics fall into the exact same traps. While the lyrics largely aim for cheeky goofballery, they occasionally flounder in eyeroll territory.
