Re: Looking for new bands

Im looking for new bands to listen to, in the vein of The Mooney Suzuki, The Von Bondies, The White Stripes, and other garage rock.

Sometimes its better to go back to old bands-which may be new to you. such as Suicidal Tendenies, D.I., JFA, Misfits. This is garage/punk rock. Good-luck!

Some of the neo-garage bands (and other similar stuff) that I like:

Pattern
Dirtbombs
Paybacks
Deadly Snakes
Epoxies
Briefs
Exploding Hearts

If you're looking for something "in the vein" of current neo-garage rockers, I highly suspect American hardcore outfits like Suicidal or the Misfits will be your destination. Try some of the original '60s garage stuff that modern bands like the Mooney Suzuki and the Hives are directly aping--Them, the Yardbirds, the Standells or the hundreds of other lost Nuggets and Pebbles--or go directly to the source behind J. White's shuck 'n' jive routine and listen to bluesmen like Son House and Blind Lemon Jefferson. (Or you can always just say 'screw the old ****' and search for the Black Keys or the Kills or the Datsuns or the Libertines or the Warlocks or the Greenhornes or the D4--good garage ruckus from this millenium.)

you guys all need to check out this really good band the Marshalls. but i think they might be changing there name soon. they are a realy good band. sounds alot like the Stooges. let me put it this way. put together. the stooges, vibrators, and the dead boys and that makes the Marshalls.

If it's new garage rock/garage punk bands you're lookin' for, check out the New Breed forum on the GaragePunk.com Forums message board:

[forums.garagepunk.com]

Too many great new bands to mention. But that forum's a good place to start.

There are other forums for '50s/'60s garage/rock'n'roll (incredible resource!), '70s punk, '80s/'90s garage/surf revival, as well as regional forums, politics and a great trash culture forum. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
