Hmmph. So we went ahead and submitted a track with possibly the shittiest audio in existence for a Garage Punk compilation. Why? 1) We're too poor for hi-fi sound and 2) we wanted to see what would happen. As I said when I 'shared' the uploaded file: Someday, you'll appreciate this upload. Mayb...

Listen - The Phantom Brothers perform Chicago Nope, that's not the forefather of the Ramones in the front of the picture. It's the singer for The Phantom Brothers, a Hamburg Germany area band from the mid-60's. Here they perform their "hit", ba-ba-ba-ba...Chicago.

Listen - Q65 perform Cry In The Night What we have here is a prime example of why we call this blog, On The Flip-Side. This song is the flip-side of the Q65's second single.
