The Gonks are a San Francisco-based indie rock band known for their distinct lo-fi sound, marked by simplistic guitar riffs and raw, often humorous lyricism. The band, formed in 2018, features Sami Perez of The She's and singer-songwriter Sonny Smith, who is noteworthy for his work with Sonny and the Sunsets. Their debut album, "Five Things You Didn't Know About the Gonks," showcases their stripped-down, garage-rock style and has contributed to the resurgence of interest in lo-fi music. Despite their relatively recent formation, The Gonks have made a significant impact in the indie music scene with their unique sound.
