Okay, this band name is misleading on two counts. First, there are four guys in Garage A Trois, though originally there were three, and garage rock is not on the menu. Rather, the freaky New Orleans outfit dishes out a cosmic stew of equal parts funk, soul, rock, and jazz. The players' collecti...

I know, beat music again? Ah yeah, again and again. In my defense, the Brainfeeders operate in my backyard and in exchange for giving them back their basketball, they bestow me with free music (No Win Butler). Those of you who are wondering when I’m going back to writing about rap music, garage rock bands, [...]

Let me say this: my love of the new garage rock revivalist sect is starting to wane. Quite honestly, I skimmed this new psych/garage track from previously unheard of by me band Mantles only caught my attention because of their, and my, homeward location - San Francisco. As I listen to it now, I’m interested still, [...]

Before he donned his gold lamé hot pants and played wild shows like the unholy offspring of Little Richard and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, King Khan made a pair of loose, lewd, lo-fi albums with fellow Montreal ex-pat and former bandmate BBQ—a.k.a. Mark Sultan. Three years after their lip-smacking What’s for Dinner?, the duo re-teams for another set of R&B-inflected, ’60s-influenced...

"The three split songwriting and vocal duty, each bringing to the table diverse and eclectic styles, influences, and impressive vocal range...The result is a blossoming blend of classic and garage rock, catchy pop hooks, and bass lines which twist and groove through an unquantifiable list of influences and genres." - Bridging the Atlantic Blog “The Balconies are a power popping trio...

RIAA 's new album of mashups and cut-ups is some of the weirdest, wackiest stuff that they've recorded in the last year or two. Spike Jones, Roger Roger, old kiddie records, and rude sound effects mix with Neutral Milk Hotel, James Blunt and the soundtracks to "Psycho" and “Eraserhead” ; '60s garage rock and Latin boogaloo collide with modern funky electro beatz. Whimsical animal...

Yet another amazing pop band from Brooklyn mixing lo-fi indie with a new take on the 60s girl group sound. ‘Never Enough’ is elemental rock’n’roll in the Modern Lovers tradition, with echoey voices and spooky effects giving it an atmospheric horror feel. ‘Every Night’ adds a primitive, Pebbles-y garage-rock layer, Erin scratching spectacular metallic sparks from...

"It Ain't Gonna Save Me" from the album Watch Me Fall 2009 iTunes As far as persona goes, this middle-school dropout from Memphis is as misanthropic and explosive as Iggy at his peak. But, as negative, bellicose, piss-drinking fuckups go, he certainly does work hard. Since the 1990s, he's issued a steady stream of music under a confusing array of auspices, including the Reatards, Lost Sounds,...
