Garage Rock Defined
We define Garage Rock as a form of guitar based Rock
and Roll first played in the 1960s. The bands usually consisted of one
or more guitars, a bass guitar and drums, and often an organ. The songs were
almost always under 3 minutes. Bands were often local favorites but often did
not make the national scene. They were usually made up of high school or college
aged people. They often had just a few original songs and filled out their
sets with cover songs. Well-known examples if Garage bands include Shadows of
Knight (Gloria), Castaways (Liar Liar), Kingsmen (Louie, Louie) and ? and the
Mysterians (96 Tears). For more on what Garage Rock is, see What's
Garage? on our Garage Rock Radio site, Little Steven's Garage
essay, the Garage Rock article at
Wikipedia, or go and listen to some Garage Rock on our MP3
page.
There have been many new bands over the years who have
played Garage Rock. The first wave of new Garage bands came out in
the early 1980s. Examples include the Chesterfield Kings, Fuzztones, Fleshtones,
Mosquitos and StomachMouths. Today we have bands like the Caesars, Charms, Strokes,
White Stripes, Hives and the Rants. Many of these new bands are also influenced
by Punk rock from the 1970s. On this Bulletin Board, you can discuss Punk related
topics as well. We consider Garage and Punk to be closely related forms of music
(see our Garage/Punk article).
