The gutarist who has worked with members of The Damned, Dead Boys, Hüsker Dü, Velvet Underground, Stooges and others, drops video for the single ‘Stick’.
Stick is the second single taken from Snake Pit Therapy, following on from ‘The End Of Light’, released in June.
“This work explores a world that is filled with uncertainty, calamity, disappointment and ugliness while at the same time the piece is mining and searching for excitement and beauty,” says Vincent. “I’m stickin’ with you, baby.”
An ex-Vietnam vet with a track record of more than 50 years as an active musician, Vincent founded pioneering NYC punks Testors, regulars at such fabled hangouts as CBGB and Max’s Kansas City. On top of that, over the years, he’s collaborated with members of The Damned, Dead Boys, Hüsker Dü, Velvet Underground, Stooges, Rocket From The Crypt and more.
Sonny Vincent’s most recent release was the self-titled debut album by punk-metal supergroup The Limit, alongside Bobby Liebling of proto-metal icons Pentagram.
He’s also recently published a memoir, also titled Snake Pit Therapy.
Set for release on 17 September through Svart Records, Snake Pit Therapy is available to pre-order here.
