1. How and why did “The Sonics” start?

The Sonics were a local band until we recorded "The Witch" and then we started getting  national attention.


2. “The Sonics”, what does the name of the band mean and how did it turn out?

A Sonic Boom is the  huge explosive sound a jet airplane makes at super Sonic speeds.


3. How easy was the reunion? How come anyway?

There was a lot of nervous energy. Because we had so many people asking us to get back together, that we finally thought maybe the time was right.


4. What you remember from the 60’s?

They say if you can remember  the 60's , you probably weren't  there! We were there, but it would take days to tell you all about it.

 

5. How would you describe the sound of the band?

Loud and Explosive.

 

6. Do you consider your sound as mainstream or underground?

I would say  possibly a little of both at times.

 There are tons of them.

 

8. What is on your turntables these days?

All types of rock.


9. Which was the best and the worst moment of the band during the first years?

The best moment was when I was driving down the street and are first recording, "The Witch", came through the speakers for the first time. The worst moment was probably when the band broke up.

Rock and Roll addicts like us.

 

11. Can you share with us your future plans?

To Rock and Roll until the day I die, and even that may not stop me.

We 've heard that Greece rocks!

Raw, loud, explosive, screaming rock!
