More Info:
Vinyl LP pressing. 2021 release. Living legend Sonny Vincent (Testors/The Limit) celebrates Raw incendiary Rock, leaving pretenders in the shade with the album Snake Pit Therapy. The album is a whirlwind of soulful punk with a badass backbone. Born in New York City and raised on it's streets and in it's clubs, Sonny Vincent is infamous from NYC Punk early fire-starters Testors, who from '75 to '79 were attitude-laden fixtures on the CBGB and Max's Kansas City scenes. Snake Pit Therapy is raw, real-deal blazing protopunk with lashings of Psychedelia and Hard Rock, all taken to the edge with Sonny's Vincent's secret weapons, the naked aggression in his passionate voice and his trademark caustic guitar. If there is an honesty which runs through the bones in Snake Pit Therapy it's because Sonny Vincent's life and antics are more than legend, they are real, as documented in his recent book bearing the same title as this very album. In and out of homes for bad kids, committed to the Psych Ward for observation and forcibly conscripted into a tour of duty in Vietnam courtesy of the U.S. Marine Corp, Sonny Vincent's experience of wild and tough living has awarded his songs hardness with humanity. Sincerity without mawkishness, Snake Pit Therapy is a glorious testament to real Rock 'n' Roll.
