CATCHING UP WITH THE GARAGE ROCK REVIVAL

I might catch some flack for keeping these choices to the past decade or so, but trust me, if you’re looking for an excellent collection of garage rock tracks from the 60’s and 70’s, there are many far more knowledgeable people to cover that era better than myself (or you could always download the excellent “Nuggets” collection). So, in putting together a collection of tracks from the current garage rock revival, I stuck with the well knowns and peppered in some lesser knowns because this is a genre that is huge and loaded with bands that I’m completely unfamiliar with. Several of the bands on this mix fall into multiple genres, so I tried to stick with the songs that fit the current theme. Use this as a guide to decide if you like and if so, seek those bands out.

So with that being said, here’s a mixtape of songs from bands that were the inspiration for, inspired by, or the epitome of the modern scene generally referred to as Garage Rock.
