Happy Birthday Sonny Vincent!

Cheers to Sonny on his birthday! Check out his chat with Rocker Mike & Rob about his new album Snake Pit Therapy and more. 

Here's the scoop on Snake Pit Therapy from Svart HQ...
Living legend Sonny Vincent (Testors/The Limit) celebrates raw incendiary ROCK, leaving pretenders in the dust with his new album Snake Pit Therapy unleashed via Finland’s Svart Records on September 17,  2021. 

Born in New York City and raised on its streets and in its clubs, Sonny Vincent made his rep with NYC Punk firestarters The Testors, who were fixtures on the CBGBs and Max’s Kansas City scenes from 1975 to 1979. 

Vincent’s new album Snake Pit Therapy is raw, blazing proto-punk with lashings of psychedelia and hard rock, all taken to the limit with Sonny’s Vincent’s main weapons, the naked aggression in his passionate voice and his trademark caustic guitar. There is an honesty at the core of Snake Pit Therapy 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.

15 tracks of electrifying shock-treatment, with catchy, primal screams and searing melody, Snake Pit Therapy is just what the doctor ordered. Songs like “The End of Light” and “Never Tired” with their heart-ripped open choruses are visceral, vital and urgent. Sonny Vincent has venom in his fangs, and his song-writing is razor sharp.

Burning with underground spirit, never standing still, Sonny Vincent is the ultimate survivor, most recently with his heavy new metalloid punk band The Limit, featuring Bobby Liebling of Pentagram, and garnering glowing reviews worldwide. While playing with some of the genre’s most influential names during a career which has spanned over 3 decades and 28 albums without compromise, Vincent’s music remains die hard, high octane, high voltage and high class.

Snake Pit Therapy rocks with a heart-heavy passion, savage smarts, and tunes that can reunite you with your own bastard youth. Are you ready to get your head rearranged by a man whose music mixes irresistible melody with a powerful and raw sound that’s more potent than a cornered king cobra? If so, you’re in urgent need of Snake Pit Therapy!
