LOS ANGELES – Award-winning director Jordan Albertsen (THE STANDARD) and producer Brian Scott Robinson today launched their Indiegogo campaign for their feature documentary BOOM! A Film About The Sonics, which will chronicle this history of the Pacific Northwest proto-punk band’s rise, fall, and unlikely and triumphant return. At once both a completely unknown band and an enduring legendary influence, The Sonics are considered by many to be the Rosetta Stone of punk music.

The Sonics were a clear influence on innumerable bands, including The Hives, Nirvana (“They’ve got the most amazing drum sound I’ve ever heard.” – Kurt Cobain), The Kinks (“A big part of American history and a rock band that were around way before The Kinks even had a car.” – Ray Davies), and The White Stripes (“Harder than the Kinks, and punk long before punk.” – Jack White), The Cramps, L7, and LCD Soundsystem, among others. Yet despite having an intense fan base in the US , The Sonics may be the most unknown legends in rock history.

Unknown, that is, until you leave the US. Much like Rodriguez in Searching For Sugarman, The Sonics have a massive fan base outside the United States and since their reunion in 2007 have routinely drawn rabid crowds in Europe, a place their records were never originally released commercially.
