This and Evol were the first things I ever heard by them back in the early 80's then Bad Moon rising and then Sister was released and they had me hooked.

[nathantim]

rofl.....the parking garage white dude in ferris buelers day off is the drummer on this album...the guy who says "what country do you think this is"....thats hilarious...

[KillYrIdols1]

@nathantim I didn't know that, but you're right. He was actually a trumpet player and an actor.

[confrontjames]

I love this track and the whole of that first EP. Very PIL sounding.

[louiecostello]

ooh their name IS a reference to the sonics then

[mattisprettycool]

@louiecostello No, the 'Sonic' came from Fred 'Sonic' Smith from MC5.

[louiecostello]

@mattisprettycool oh... the album cover just seems to suggest it so much, but maybe they chose it because the similarity in names
