Whaa, have love
Whoa baby, will travel
Uh-huh, uh-huh, have love
Whoa baby, will travel
I said If you need lovin'

Well, I travel from Maine to Mexico

Just to find a little girl that'll love me so
No matter where, no matter where I'll be
I'm lookin' for a woman that'll satisfy me

Have love

Well, I might take a boat, or I'll take a plane
I might hitchhike, or jump a railroad train
Your kind of love drives a man insane
So look for me walkin' just a-any old way

Ah pretty baby, will travel
Uh-huh, now, I said if you need lovin'

Some recording engineers (I'm one of them) think that this is the best one microphone drum recording ever made! The Sonics took over the studio after the engineer found the sweet spot of the room for the rhythm track, and turned the board WAY up into the red to get that distortion. Certainly one of the first Punk recordings ever!

The 60's Pacific NW rock sound kicked ass. The Sonics, The Kingsmen, Paul Revere and the Raiders. Such a soulful, ballsy brand of rock and roll.

These guys were the soundtrack for my youth! We would play their albums through a P.A. system. Bob Bennett's drumming was as powerful as any rhythm maker I've ever heard and I still get that feeling I had then when I cue up "have Love Will Travel" or "Strychnine" on my IPod. Our kids and their kids can't believe the Sonics were from "that" era, since their sound transcends the time between then and now. It's the "real deal" if you are looking for what "Rock & roll" really means.

Actually, the whole Pacific Northwest was rockin' about like this at the time (for =some= reason). The Kingsmen were from Portland, ya know. But the style here is actually from Southwest LA.

Great!!! Thanks to The Black Keys for drawing me to this song. I love this pre-punk garage sound.

My band is doing a cover of this song 13 years later, sax solo still kicks ass.

Yeah the Black Keys also drew me to this rocker. Written by Richard Berry, who also wrote Louie Louie, apparently the most covered rock song ever. The best known version was by The Kingsmen with the muffled vocal track that sounded like it was recorded in a garage.

I'm here from the Garage Rock Revival of the early 00s. I can definitely see where the Hives got their influences.

Iggy & The Stooges were the Godfathers of Punk rock, but the seeds of Punk were sewn in garage rock from the 60's with artists like the Sonics, Standells,Troggs, McCoy's and so on. The Godfathers of garage; however, were the Kinks, with All Day and All Night in '62.

Where has this band been all my life? They're fantastic!!! I'm listening to song after song, and they were an AWESOME band! Why didn't they make it bigger?

@jamesbrice7951

cause they broke up.and all went their separate ways from college to Vietnam

@noahkillough2840

+James Brice They got back together, they have been on tour all this year

@jamesbrice7951

Noah Killough that is awesome! I bet the singer can't shred a tune the way he used to though. Have they written anything new? I bet that they can still kick ass!

@johnlordan9187

Wait, what? Kurt said the Sonics’ drum sound was his favourite drum sound so he must have liked them.

It is as if Parypa is dragging a dead animal across his fret! Fucking genius! R N B never sounded quite like this until they came around.

@johnrisdon3779

Saw the Sonics first time ever in Chicago this past March-not disappointed at all. Great band great show! I hope to see them again! - Riz
