Garage Rock Radio Records - Press Release

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.

The Quests Website and New CD

Hello GarageRockers!

I recently got an email from The Quests - the 60s Garage Band who performed the song that I chose as the first song in my first GarageRockRadio Podcast.

The email announces the Quests' website: http://www.questsrock.com/index.cfm, and their new CD too!

Here's the email:


Subject: "The Quests"announce www.questsrock.com a new website and new CD

Dear Bill,

Hi, I'm Bob Fritzen, lead singer/songwriter of "The Quests." Still proud of the fact that "Scream Loud" was the lead off song of your 1'st podcast. Due to that honor, and other good vibes from old and new fans, we have recorded a new CD, RE-QUESTED: BACK TO THE GARAGE" which contain our old hits, previously unreleased songs recorded in the '60s, and five new '60s style songs written/recorded by the original members in 2007.

Wanted to let you know that we have also opened a website http://www.questsrock.com/ where these can be sampled and purchased. If you could list our URL after our name The Quests http://www.questsrock.com/, it would be greatly appreciated. Garagerockradio.com was one of the the most important site listed on our links. Check out our website and let me know what you think. We also have a 60sgaragebands.com interview coming out 2/18/08, hope you like it.

Once again, thanks for your help and interest in the past.

Bob Fritzen

GarageRockRadio Theme Song!

Hello, Garage Rockers!

I was recently sent a GarageRockRadio Theme Song recorded by my good friend Lyn from New York. I'll use it in my upcoming Fifth GarageRock Podcast, coming soon! If you want to hear this cool theme song now, just click here.

Lyrics:

The Radio's rocking all day long (all day, all day long)
the best in music, I hear it all (I can hear it all)
Garage Bill plays the rock n roll (rock and roll)
that spins the disk inside your soul (inside)
Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio,
Rocking the world, till the end of time.
Rocking the world, till the end of time.

GarageRockRadio Podcast, Volume 1

I've been talking about doing a 1960's Garage Podcast for quite some time. Well, I've finally made one. It contains 4 cool 60s Garage tunes:

Scream Loud - Quests (Visit their website)
I Want You - Toni and Terri
Some Day - Resumes
Painted Air - Remaining Few

Thanks to everyone who emailed me a "station ID". You can do the same and I'll use it in the future. Just say, "I love Garage Rock Radio", or "This is xxx from xxx and I love Garage Rock Radio", or "This is xxxx from the band xxxx and you're listening to Garage Rock Radio", or something like that. You can use any mic and any recording program, even the Sound Recorded program that comes with Windows. Save it as a WAV file and email it to bill@garagerockradio.com and I'll use it in an upcoming podcast.

Listen to the podcast here!
