    • MUCK & THE MIRES are a fab four-piece combo from Bosstown, whose latest EP release “Doreen” is now available on Dirty Water Records (London) and wreaks of radio friendly magical monster hits. Produced by none other than the legendary KIM FOWLEY! Muck and the Mires' songs sound like long lost classics...all two-minutes long and ALL POTENTIAL HITS! Elements of the Ramones, the Romantics, the Beatles, the Monkees and the Sonics leap out of the speakers like a hit parade of the last forty years pushed forward in a time machine to the 22nd century. http://www.myspace.com/muckandthemires http://www.muckandthemires.com THE PRIMORDIALS are a tight-trousered foursome from the caverns of Canada whose British, Continental, Colonial and Antipodal big-beat shouters tear a new one out of songs by the RATTLES, the SORROWS, the ATTRACTIONS, Tony Barber, the ECCENTRICS, and even the KRAVIN' A's. In glorious Living Mono, Ryan, Dave, Shawn and Robbie pound out a tribute to some of the finest unsung heroes of the mid-sixties, giving you an excuse to dust off your winklepickers and give your mojo a workout! With crunchy guitars, seventh chords in the wrong place, two-fingered solos, and helium huffin' harmonies guaranteed to satisfy the most discerning Beatkeller-dweller! Swingin' 60's mod-beat hasn't sounded this soulful since those glory days of bands like the ACTION, the ARTWOODS or the V.I.P.'s. Start your next wild dance craze NOW with these instant floorfillers by the fabulous PRIMORDIALS! http://www.myspace.com/theprimordials KIDSENTIMENT, whose names pays homage to the 1967 Jacques Godbout NFB film and accompanying soundtrack by garage/pop royalty LES SINNERS (featured on their '68 concept album Vox Populi), were born of the ashes of infamous Quebec garage combos Les Séquelles and Les Macchabées. With ringing guitars, a crude punk energy and spoonful of sugary pop... Their quick and catchy melodic '70s style power-pop anthems explode with an urgency and impulse the way good rock'n'roll was meant to be played! http://www.myspace.com/kidsentiment THE SUPERSTITIONS are a young Toronto-based foursome whose powerful blend of garage rock, girl group sounds, 50's rock & roll and soul channel the collective energy of the voo doo god Ogun, the spirit of Pat O'Day and Phil Spector's blowdryer into creating the best music this side of Ike Turner's fist! http://www.myspace.com/werethesuperstitions

    • Yo. Halifax, originally from Cape Breton. How about you?

      I found this site a whim last night after deciding to look for the old Garage Punk board. I take it Garagepunk.com doesn't exist anymore?

    • I am putting together a cool little Canadian zine focusing on '60s teen-beat, group sounds and degenerate adolescent rock'n'roll from past decades! I am currently looking for contributions and submissions for articles and record raves... especially recent reviews of the re-ish scene! It will be distributed throughout Central Canada (Quebec/Ontario), and I would really love to feature writing from the many wise and talented garage gurus of the GaragePunk forums. We're not snobs to fuzz, screams and tambourines either... pop-psych, UK Invasion, early combo sounds, surf music, folk-rock and other related content is more than welcomed in our printed yellow payges! We're especially in need of submissions for more reviews right now. If you run a reissue label or would like to send in promos of your discs, comps, whatever... or relevant reviews that you've written, please drop me a p.m. or email at oliverbesner@sympatico.ca

    • Get yer ass to the Elmdale House Tavern on Friday January 9th for a double dose of high octane one-man bands, as Bradleyboy and Mississippi Grover hit the stage and get the joint hopping with their hip-shakin' sounds. Having toured all over this fine country with punkgrass band The Kent Boys and others, Bradleyboy has stripped things down and taken the reins himself, playing suitcase-bassdrum, hihats, banjo/acoustic guitar and harmonica simultaneously! Mississippi Grover started as a guest harmonica player with Ottawa garage punk band The Desecrators in the late '90s, has since been reborn as a one-man travelling medicine show, and his tonic is sonic, baby!
