Hello, Garage Rockers!

Here are a bunch of Garage Bands that have emailed me this year. I have listened to all of these bands on their MySpace pages, YouTube channels and other websites - and they have some cool songs! Here are the ones I really like!

First, as a reminder, I have a YouTube channel for Garage Rock, and you should check it out and Subscribe! We have uploaded a few songs from artists that we work with on our Garage Rock Radio Records label. Plus, we have 145 Garage Rock videos in our Favorites playlist and 44 Doo Wop tunes in our Doo Wop playlist.

Check out our newest upload. It's a Garage Rock / Punk / Indie cover of the Vogues 60s ballad minor hit, "Magic Town." But this version is no ballad; it Rocks! Have a listen, and pay attention to how the singer, Lynette Price, expresses the sadness and frustration of the lyrics - "Where's the magic in this magic town? Where's the good life they said could be found? Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true?" Musicians everywhere can identify with this!

BUY "NYC Garage And Blue Lemonade." - the CD that this song is on, for only $5.50 at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/lynprice.
You can also download individual tracks for $0.99 or the album for $6.00.



Now, here are links to Garage Bands YOU should check out!!!

The Monolithics
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/themonolithics
Mon-o-lith-ic: (adj) massive, solid, and uniform. Actually you don't need a dictionary to understand The Monolithics: a pair of ears is more than enough.
Take rock'n'roll, garage punk, punk rock and Sixties sound, put them under a press and here you are... The Monolithics are born. Plus, they proudly wear their influences on their sleeves, they are veterans of the road and they know a few things about being rock'n'roll losers. Does this ring a bell? You bet it does... and in case you're still hesitant, just take alisten: you'll learn something about rock'n'roll. It's for your own good.
Best Songs:

You Better Mov'in On

The Kaams
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/thekaams
Formed in 2009 in a small town (Bergamo) close to Milan, the KAAMS are a trio influenced by 60s garage bands and by the rawest R'n'B sound.
Former members are Carmi (vocals, guitar and harmonica), Conte (drums) and Mafe (bass).
They released an Ep “She’s a Killer” - 2010 on Bedo Records (IT) / Dirty Water Digit Records and a 7” split “Choose your coffin” - 2010 on Boss Hoss Records (IT) / distributed by Area Pirata (IT).
