Boom is the second album by American garage rock band The Sonics. It was released in 1966 on Etiquette Records. It was re-released in 1999 by Norton Records. Like its predecessor Here Are The Sonics, Boom was influential on later punk rock. The indie rock band BOAT parodied the album's cover art, among several others, on its 2011 release Dress Like Your Idols.
