The video is a slideshow of 60s Garage Bands and the song is the Garage Rock Radio Theme song, sung by Lyndsey Price. It is a great example of Garage Rock - raw 1960s punk pop featuring fuzzy guitars, pounding drums, pulsating organs, pumping basslines and snearing vocals with background harmonies.

Brimstone Howl - New album, free MP3

2009-11-25T15:12:00.002-05:00

I just received this announcement in my email today. It reports that Garage Rockers Brimstone Howl have released a new full length album and the new song "Suicide Blues" is available as a free download.

"Suicide Blues" starts off with a conventional Garage drum and guitar riff. Then when the gritty vocals come in, with another layer of guitar, one hears a Velvet Underground influence. At about the 1:20 mark, lead guitar comes squealing and howling, an overdriven delight. The guitar break is repeated twice more, at one minute intervals. The final lead guitar break rips with such maniacal buzzing and screaming intensity that it reminds one of accidentally getting the neighbor's cat nicked by your weed whacker! Download and enjoy "Suicide Blues"!

Here's more info, straight from the email:

Brimstone Howl are:
John Ziegler (guitars / vocals)
Nick Waggoner (guitar / vocals)
Calvin Retzlaff (drums)

Brand new album by Lincoln, NE’s favorite garage sons, Brimstone Howl. This time the gang went to Costa Mesa, CA, to record Big Deal. What's He Done Lately? (the title references a quote from Johnny Ramone about Phil Spector) at The Distillery under the guidance of engineer/producer Mike McHugh (known to produce some of the most heinous, blown-out sounds this side of the galaxy, including Black Lips, Jon Spencer and Andre Williams). The result is considerably more fuzzed than their previous work with Detroit producer Jim Diamond but still pummels.

Frontman John Ziegler admits that Big Deal is thematically “a little brighter” than previous efforts, but also explains, “While our last record We Came In Peace sounded ‘big,’ the main characteristic of this album is its heat. Analog from start to finish. Recorded to tape. Mixed to tape. And from tape the wax was cut. This record sounds ‘hot’.”

The new album - Brimstone Howl’s third for Alive Records - finds a couple of older songs (such as “Elation” and “M60” rerecorded from their debut album and first 45) riding shotgun with newer explosive tracks such as “Last Time,” “Everybody Else Is Having Fun,” “Iota Man” and “Suicide Blues.” “Musically, our instincts remain the same as always,” Ziegler states, “but we do more pop sounding things at times, with as much drama as we can fit into our rock'n'roll template. I get the feeling that's out of style or going out, even within our own little community of garage folks, but we're from the Midwest and we can't f**k around and waste our time singing songs that aren't fully sincere. We’ve been doing music for it's own sake for a long time now, none of us have made rent money from this, for whatever that's worth. We have music in our hearts, goddamn it, and we always will. That will always remain the most important thing in this industry, and whatever corner of it we inhabit."

A Twilight Taste Of Indigo - Tom Haun

2009-11-04T14:20:00.002-05:00

Tom Haun is out with a new CD entitled "A Twilight Taste Of Indigo." The disc holds 8 tracks all between 3 and 5 minutes in length. Instrumentation includes rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass guitar and drums. All 8 tracks have a similar 1960s slow rock / blues / folk vibe so if you like one track you will most likely enjoy them all.

Tom has a smooth vocal style that occasionally reminds one of Neil Young or maybe Roky Erikson performing slower 13th Floor Elevators tunes (like "Baby Blue"). The lyrics are interesting and well written. The guitars are crisp and clear while the drums provide a rock solid backbeat.

For me, the stand out track is "Silent Saturday" which reminds me of "For You" by The Sugar Twins, even using the words "for you" in the chorus. This is a pop rock song with a nice beat. The CD ends with a cool instrumental named "East Coast/West" that grooves nicely.

If you're a fan of slow to mid tempo folk rock and blues 60s inspired tunes, you'll like this offering from Tom Haun.

The Heartbeats - 60s Girl Garage Band

2009-10-19T03:26:00.003-05:00

On September 7th, 1968, The Heartbeats, from Lubbock Texas, won $10,000 in prizes in the amateur band contest on ABC's nationwide pop/rock show Happening '68. The Heartbeats lip-sync'ed to their recording of the Outsiders hit "Time Won't Let Me." One of the prizes was a VW bus, but none of the girls could drive; they were 12 to 15 years old!

The Heartbeats are:
Linda Sanders - Drums, lead vocals
Deb Sanders -rhythm guitar
Deborah McMillan - bass
Jeannie Foster - lead guitar and organ

Managed by mom Jeanne Sanders, whose goal was to "maintain in appearance and reality a group of decent, wholesome girls."

Here they are, as seen on Happening '68. Linda is on drums in the back. Jeannie is on the left. Deb is in the middle and "has a dance routine" which is very cool! Deborah is on the right. After 8 bars of lead-in, during which the guitar girls do shuffle, they get a little more animated as Deb does her "dance routine." Check out the cut-aways to kids in the audience. This is a great slice of Garage Rock for your viewing and listening pleasure!

At Garage Rock Radio Records, we also have a Garage Girl - Lyndsey Price. Check out one of her songs, For FREE, on our Downloads Page. Thanks!

And now, the Lyrics!

Scream Loud - The Quests

If you really want me, yeah,
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!

Or I won't hear you,
I'll never know you're there.
I'll never realize that you may
really care.

And so I'll say to you -
If you really want me, yeah,
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!

For the words that you say
may not come into my heart.
I'll never know if we should
really part.

And so before I go -
If you really want me, yeah,
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!

[guitar break]

'Cuz if you really want me,
tell the world you do!
I want them all to know
our love can be true.

And so before I go -
If you really want me, yeah,
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!

Or I won't hear you,
I'll never know you're there.
I'll never realize that you may
really care.

And so I'll say to you -
If you really want me, yeah,
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!
Scream Loud! Scream Loud!

I Want You - Tony and Terri

Hey hey hey girl, take a look at me.
It's really hard I know, since you never saw me before.

You know what I want, I want you!

That don't matter none, when you're young.
What do you expect me to do?
Get up and walk out with you?

You know what I want, I want you!

Maybe you oughtta walk away.
(Why should I go, why can't I stay, no matter what the people say!)
Maybe you oughtta walk away.
(Why let 'em live your life for you, come and do what you wanna do with me!)

Hey hey hey girl, you better start livin', yeah.
Its time you had some thoughts of your own.
Life's too short, the red tape's too long.

You don't have to be like everybody else, no!
I never met anyone like you!
And I'm tired of doin' everything other people do.

You know what I want, babe, I want you!

I'm glad I listened to what you say!
(Why should I go, why can't I stay, no matter what the people say!)
I'm glad I listened to what you say!
(Why let 'em live your life for you, come and do what you wanna do with me!)

I want you!!!!
Oh I need need you!
I want you!!!!
And I love you too!
I want you!!!!
And I'll be with you!
I want you!!!!
Oh I want you!

Someday - The Resumes

Hey girl I wanna talk to you,
I got something to say.
I'm gonna be leavin' you,
I may be back someday.

I'll do what I wanna do,
I'll find a way,
to keep on lovin' you,
as I do today, as I do today, today, today!

I've gotta keep moving on,
don't ask me where.
I'm travellin' all alone,
you must beware.

Lord no, I gotta be gone,
don't really care.
I'll stop in one of those towns where
there's time to spare, there's time to spare, to spare, to spare!

[guitar break]

I've cheated I've run around
looking for some pay.
I haven't any friends in town
so I'll be on my way, my way, my way.

I'll stay in a cheap motel
and earn my pay.
And when I'll pay my bill
I'll be on my way.

All that will pay my friend
If I find a way.
Divert the spell my friend
so I'll get it right some day, some day, some day!

Painted Air - Remaining Few

Here I lie on my deathbed,
recalling things said,
as my world slips away.

A man stands over me,
one final plea,
though I disagree!

[break]

Cars, daytime and light,
running red light.
Other drivers won't yield.

People stand without sound,
tears thouch the ground,
and soon dry away!

We are on the radio!

The Eleventh Story

2009-08-14T16:17:00.002-05:00

The Eleventh Story is a 60s Garage influenced band out of Virginia with a new album available at CD Baby called "Outland Road". The band consists of Tom Haun on guitars and vocals, and Todd Rosedale on bass. They present 7 songs on this CD which has Garage, Blues and Psychedelic influences.

"Snake Doctor" brings to mind the 60s pop rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). "One Good Reason" is a slower blues/psyche number. "Our Time Is Now" is one of my favorite tracks. It is a Garage Rocker with a Psychedelic feel. The guitar riff is cool and Tom's vocals are trippy yet powerful. I also like "That's What I'm Here For" which is another obviously 60s Garage influenced tune. It has a light breezy feel, nice Garage pop tune! "And For Today" gets a little more gritty, and stays in a slow groove. "Out To The Highway" picks up the pace, it rocks and has tasty fuzz lead guitarwork! "Tsunami" ends the set. It's another Garage Rocker with lead fuzz.

In general, Tom's vocals are excellent and the guitar work is solid. I did notice that there is the occasional loss of sync among the instruments, and the songs seem to end abruptly. But this is a very nice Garage CD that I would recommend to all Garage Rockers!

The Good Rats, and Kars4Kids

2009-08-12T23:53:00.002-05:00

I grew up on Long Island in the 70s, so naturally I saw The Good Rats play around town many times. I saw them at the local clubs, I saw them at Eisenhower Park, and I saw them play with The Ramones at the Nassau Coliseum. Everyone who grew up in the NY area knows The Good Rats! They were a hard rocking guitar based band whose songs had excellent hooks. My two favorite Rats tunes are - "Reason To Kill" and "Writing The Pages." When I got this email recently, I knew I had to pass it along to you all!

Kars4Kids Launches Jingle Contest with Spokesman Peppi Marchello of The Good Rats

Classic Rock Hall of Famer Jumpstarts National Car Donation YouTube-Based Contest

Lakewood, NJ—July 27, 2009—Kars4Kids, the national car donation program best known for its persistent "1-8-7-7-Kars-for-Kids" jingle, opened the doors this morning to contestants who want to perform, recreate or otherwise spoof their well-known jingle. The contest was launched simultaneously at the charity organization's website and its YouTube channel with a video--the first of three in a series--from famed rock-and-roll songwriter Peppi Marchello and his band The Good Rats.

"While Kars4Kids is a wonderful organization, we know our jingle can make some people a little crazy," said Clifford Meth, VP of Communications. "It's no different than Burger King's 'Have It Your Way' campaign of the 70s or some of the other classic commercials--our jingle gets inside people's heads and sometimes they can't get it out. So we thought we'd give the thousands of people who write about our jingle a chance to change it… or spoof it… or recreate it. And who better to kick that off than Peppi Marchello, one of the very best songwriters and rock-and-roll showmen of the 1970s."

Kars4kids is giving away prizes from Fender Stratocasters to gaming and home theatre systems. While the organization may not change their jingle any time soon, they believe this contest will be fun for everyone.

"Asking me to be spokesman for a national charity? Now that’s a gutsy move," says Marchello, whose band first debuted on Warner Brothers Records in 1969 and has sold more than one million albums. "When we were playing the Uncle Floyd Show or opening for The Grateful Dead, we must've gone through six dozen vehicles. If Kars4Kids had been around, I'd have known what to do with them but instead I'm still getting notices for 30-year-old parking tickets!"

In addition to writing for and fronting The Good Rats, Marchello also produced a number of other artists including Fiona Flanagan (Atlantic Records) and scored Demi Moore's film "No Small Affair" (1984)

"This contest isn't just for musicians or people good with a video camera," notes Meth. "Anyone with a little creativity will have a chance of winning." Meth noted that other professional bands and entertainers will be popping up at the contest site, including J.R. (formerly of the punk-horror band Rosemary's Babies) and Mark Radice, the Emmy-nominated writer for such shows as "Sesame Street."

Kars4Kids is a national charity operating in 49 states. For more information on the contest, visit www.kars4kids.org/contest

Garage Rock Radio Records - Press Release

2009-07-01T18:17:00.001-05:00

Garage Rock Radio Records Releases Albums for Fans of 1960s Rock Music

Garage Rock Radio Records has recently released music on iTunes, Amazon.com and other online music stores which will appeal to fans of 1960s bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, the Monkees, Iron Butterfly and similar Rock groups. 1960s style Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic music, with its pounding drums, fuzz guitars, swirling organs and gritty vocals and harmonies are alive and well in the new millennium. Listen to these good time tunes and relive the golden age of Rock.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 -- Garage Rock Radio Records (http://www.garagerockradiorecords.com/) announces the release of albums by its first three signed bands; this music will appeal to fans of 1960s Rock, Pop and Psychedelic music. The music is available to buy and download at iTunes, Amazon.com and other online stores. Buyers can download individual tracks or purchase and download an entire album at a discount.
Garage Rock Radio Records (GRRR) is a new record label that distributes music inspired by 1960s Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, the Monkees, Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly and similar Rock groups. GRRR brings 1960s style Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic music, with its pounding drums, fuzz guitars, swirling organs and gritty vocals and harmonies, into the present day music scene. (What’s Garage? www.garagerockradio.com/whatsgarage.htm)

Bill Kline, owner of Garage Rock Radio Records, has always been a fan of 1960s music and was thrilled to discover that thousands of small bands with regional hits were being unearthed in the 70s. "When the famous ‘Nuggets’ album was released, I was familiar with the Electric Prunes, Seeds, Castaways, and 13th Floor Elevators but it was great to become aware of other groups like the Leaves, Chocolate Watchband and Nazz, making powerful songs, all hoping to be the next ‘Beatles‘" said Kline. He then became a collector of compilation albums such as the Pebbles series, which continued to bring obscure 1960s Garage songs back from the dead.

Many fans of Garage Rock went on to start their own bands that played Garage cover songs and original tunes inspired by the original 1960s Garage bands. Among the most famous are the Chesterfield Kings, Fuzztones and McFadden’s Parachute. All of these bands have genuine 1960s rock sounds, and all were getting airplay on free form radio stations like WFMU near New York City. Kline was working on a website for fans of Garage Rock - http://www.garagerockradio.com/, and decided to approach the leader of McFadden’s Parachute about distributing his music online. A deal was reached and 15 songs were selected from the catalogue of over a dozen CDs put out over the last several decades by McFadden’s Parachute, to create the album - McFadden’s Parachute, Greatest Hits, Volume 1 - now available on Garage Rock Radio Records.

Relatively new on the Garage Rock scene is Lyndsey Price, a singer with a powerful and passionate voice with a bit of punk attitude for good measure. Price has also produced songs on the GRRR label, including the "Dark, Dirty & Anonymous" album and the new single, "David and the Goliaths Theme" about the movement to get a Garage Rock exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Also on the label is Kline’s own one-man band, Thee Lightning. The album, "Quests and Adventures" contains Garage Rock influenced instrumentals which are perfect for use as bumper music and background tracks for videos and commercials.

For additional information on Garage Rock Radio Records and its artists and releases, or for free downloads for you to review, contact Bill Kline or visit www.GarageRockRadioRecords.com. Albums and individual songs available to buy and download from iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster.com, Rhapsody.com and other fine online stores.

Here is my review of our recent release on Garage Rock Radio Records - "Dark, Dirty & Anonymous" by Lynne (Lyndsey) Price, available NOW at Amazon.com, iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody and others.

"Lynne Price, who now goes by the name of Lyndsey Price, is a powerful and passionate singer! This album features some Dance and Techno songs she recorded a few years back, along with 4 Garage Rock tunes she recorded more recently. 'Losing Control' is a cool Techno/Trance song. 'Wiped Out' and 'NYC Wild Girl' are excellent Dance tunes that remind me of the 70s/80s band Siouxsie & the Banshees. 'Ponyride Thrills' is sensuous and showcases Lyn's excellent vocal range.

I love Garage Rock and Lyndsey gives us 4 great Garage Rockers on this album! 'Garage Rock Radio' was created to be the theme song for the 1960s podcasts over at GarageRockRadio.com. It's only a minute long, but what a powerful and rockin' tune! Perfect for promoting a 1960s radio show! 'Someday' is a cover of a 1966 Garage Rock classic. It is produced much better than the original 60s tune but retains the raw power and 60s sound of the original, with its swirling organ parts. Lyndsey's voice is strong, gritty and a little punky on this one, just as it is on all of her Garage songs. 'The Way I Feel About You' is a cover of Pete Best's classic single and is one of my favorite 60s tunes. Lyndsey does an amazing job on this one too! Finally, we have a cover of 'Come And Give Your Love To Me' that really makes you want to get up and dance! Lyndsey's voice soars above the fuzz guitar on this Garage Pop rocker.

My advice is to buy the entire album. I rated it 5 stars and I listen to it often. Try it, you'll love it!"

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

2009-06-18T00:15:00.002-05:00

Many people think the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is about an LSD trip. It may actually be true, but the inspiration for the song came to John Lennon when his son Julian brought home a drawing from school and told his father, "That's Lucy in the sky with diamonds." Julian was about 4 years old at the time and had drawn a picture of his friend, Lucy. As it turns out, there really was a "Lucy" and her name is Lucy Vodden.

The AP has just reported that Lucy Vodden is suffering from Lupus, and was recently contacted by Julian who wanted to help. Read this article in USA Today for the rest of the story.

Also, please read this article about how the Beatles wrote Eleanor Rigby.

2009-06-09T16:03:00.004-05:00

Check out these two new 5-star reviews of McFadden's Parachute, Greatest Hits, Volume 1:

A masterpiece of 60's Garage psych!!! Can't get anymore authentic than this! Homemade self taught, mostly all original compositions! Some of the best fuzz I've ever heard. wild Farfisa, psych freakouts and melodic trip music nuggets!!

This is great music. Anyone of any age who loves 1960's Garage Rock, which is leading the crowd right now...and who has turned on to Nuggets I, the best collection of 60's Garage known, would love this album. I suggest listening to the samples they have by pressing the button on the left so you get an idea of how good the music is. If you like to dance or just sit around your backyard in the summer and drink an iced tea, beer or coca-cola....this is the music for you.

Here is the review I wrote for this album at Amazon.com:

I first heard of McFadden's Parachute about 7 years ago. Bill Kelly played their song "Fall Of The Queen" on his Teenage Wasteland show on WFMU. I loved it and made it my Song Of The Week for 03/23/03 on my website GarageRockRadio.com. I began writing to the band's leader, "Dagwood," and started buying their albums. I have 5 so far.

McFadden's Parachute plays Garage Punk songs and Psychedelic Rock that sounds like it was recorded back in 1966 and 1967, at the height of the Garage Rock and Psychedelic scenes. Each song features cool guitar, often fuzzed out, with pounding drums and Dagwood's gritty vocals. Many songs also contain Farfisa organ which is something I love about Garage Rock music.

The songs are generally short, although some of the Psychedelic tunes such as the three on this Greatest Hits collection - Laughing Sparrow Died, Silver Days And Purple Nights, and Wishes Of A Peasant clock in at around 5 minutes. Every song has hooks that will get stuck in your head!

If you like 60s music from bands like the Monkees, Beatles, Doors, Kinks, Who - and Garage Rock like Louie Louie, Liar Liar, You're Gonna Miss Me, Midnight to Six Man, I'm Five Years Ahead of my Time, Hey Joe, It's a Cryin' Shame, Abba, 99th Floor - then you'll Love McFadden's Parachute! If you like the bands played on Little Steven's Underground Garage, on Sirius 25, like the Fuzztones, Urges, Hives, Jarvis Humby, Chevelles, Maggots, Woggles, Len Price 3, Creatures of the Golden Dawn, Foxboro Hot Tubs - then you'll Love McFadden's Parachute!

Listen to the samples of the songs on this album. They all sound very cool and have that authentic 1960s sound. McFadden's Parachute uses vintage instruments to make their recordings and you can tell it from their sound. I would recommend this album to all fans of Garage Rock, Punk, Psychedelic and 60s Rock. You will not be disappointed!

Here are the lyrics:

Fireworks in Cleveland
For music that is ours
We started up a movement
More mighty than the stars
The music from garages and
Explosions from guitars
Is heard around the world today
It’s global and it’s ours.
David and Goliath is the word.

A 3 piece suit might hold some weight
But we refuse to tolerate
Your blocking our exhibit from the Hall of Fame
No one said you own the place
No one said you own your space
Stop blockin rockin music history.
David and Goliath is the word.

You bring shame to the hall of fame
You bring shame to the hall of fame
Garage rock it is here to stay
Garage rock it ain’t going away
Garage rock it is here to stay
Garage rock it ain’t going away

Feel the heel of my boot
It’s up against your 3 piece suit
We will write the final chapter
For the generations after
David and Goliath is our name
David and Goliath is our name
Repeat and fade………….
BREAK WITH GUITAR

Repeat verse “Feel the heel of my boot”

Then “David and Goliath is our name”
Repeat and fade out
