I like La Secta ,from Spain , better than The Scientists....But , I don't listen to them , anymore , really. That was during the Great Garage Scare of The 90's , before Major Labels STARTED PICKING UP ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS GARAGE.......

My band The Mad Doctors is a b-movie-themed garage punk band - hopefully you'll dig our stuff! End of shameless self-promotion.

Thank you for the welcome Gringo Starr, although I'm curious as to why there was such a problem before with this kind of topic but well that's just a story for another day I guess.

Thanks for the recommendations dave, I do know The Avengers and X Ray Spex but I'll check the Detroit Cobras and the Scientists.

And about The Dyes I already know them and I'm really liking how they sound.

So in general I appreciate all your suggestions people, keep' em coming please!

On all counts - The Dyes , from Chicago. Two women on Guitar , Bass and Vocals , one mighty, mighty man on Drums. Cramps - absorbed , as opposed to just influenced , but , they've got their own thing. An extremely rare ( In Chicago , anyway .) collision of Rockabilly and Garage sounds , covering some songs associated with The Cramps , as well as a great version of Jackie DeShannon's version of Elvis' "Trouble" , and others , but also coming up with the goods , in the songwriting dept. Singer/Guitarist , Lisa , draws from Wanda Jackson , but , sounds like she's chosen evil over goodness .  Kim Fowley recently dubbed her "The Devil's Bride".

Welcome! I'm out-of-the-loop currently on bands, but I can recommend the Spoiled Brats from the '90s, and the Avengers and X-Ray Specs from the '70s.

Also, I think the Detroit Cobras are still around.

As for the Cramps, the Scientists sound a lot like them in their later stage.

Check out Lisa Doll & the Rock n Roll Romance. She makes great, fast-charging songs and she's a member on here!

First off, welcome to the Hideout Personality Crisis. I just need to quickly inform you guys that I had to close two discussions about Female Fronted Garage Punk. The member that was causing much of the problem is not with us anymore so I'm pretty confident we can give this a third try. Just keep it clean and on-subject (Garage Punk).

First off, it's amazing how many bands from outside the us are doing such great music but I've been wondering, what's going on with the local american scene? are there any new bands worth checking out? are there any female fronted bands out there? Also I would like to know if there are The Cramps-style bands out there or not and if its possible can anyone direct me to garage rock/punk bands who are kind of scary and b-movie monster like?

I'd really appreciate all your help people. I know I'm new and shouldn't be doing this kind of post but I'm really eager to discover more music.

Yep, a very dynamic and interesting cover!!. Didn´t know this guy! Love it!
This beat for sure the psychobilly version, (which doesn´t beat the original but is fun)!
:)

over Kraftwerks original (funny how dated the intro sounds)

 I'm partial to T.Tex Edwards' version , partly because he was one of the first people to cover it , that I know of , and mainly because he did a great job , without relying too heavily on the original. Southern Culture on The Skids did a really good verson , too.  Wanda was'nt aware the song had  a "Cult" following until she started touring again , and people began requesting it. I like The remake with The Cramps , but , for me , you can't beat the original , it has everything . That's Roy Clark doing the proto - psychedelic "Eastern" guitar .

Hey! This Born Bad series are awesome!! Cheers

When I found that video of Tav Falco, I didn't know (remember) who played the original, but I just thought that I've heard that tune by someone somewhere.  I didn't even know who is Wanda Jackson (except her name), but now I found why I've heard it, because I have "Born Bad" volume one!!!

@Dead Boy, would be the Tav Falco your favorite? :)

Hi everybody, my name is Alvaro, I'm from Chile and I've known this website for about 3 years now, but just recently I took the courage to become a member.

I do a lot of reading (sometimes play videogames too although I suck at them), listen to music and one of my favourite bands is by far the Cramps, I'm currently broke and looking of a job.

To be honest I didn't know much about garage rock and garage punk but it was the Sonics who got my attention with their "strychnine" but the more I got into these genres of music the more I liked it, and hopefully I will meet here good people who will point me in the right direction.

Stay sick!

Hi Bazza...do you still have a program on ModRadio?

Marv Gellman, Beachnuts drummer/singer--Iconoclastic Life, Nature's Company

That's just so funny.

Haven't read the whole thread so dunno if this one's been posted already. Be as it may, one of my favorite punk moments ever (from the Joe Strummer documentary):

Joe Strummer talking to the camera, backstage, pointing at passed out Bernie Rhodes:

"Look, that's the man who invented punk. Obviously it was too much for him."

I couldn't really form any sort of opinion based on the clip. Could be great, but sure, more likely to fall in the "mmkay..." category, sad to say. Here's hoping for the former...

I felt like this will be 2013's Loutallica. Aghhhhhhhh. I wanted to like the single. 

I am very PA but you know I was not referring to you.  You are a terrific leader.  I'll never forget what you said before we went on stage at Chicago.  It pulled everyone together as a unit, giving us confidence and we subsequently played a great set to start off an equally great tour.  I'm honored to have been a part of it.

or.......who is the most passive aggressive, the rhythm guitarist or bass player?

Wobbly Lamps second 7" is now available, check out my post in Trading Post for more info. They are also playing day three of the London Garage Fest on 31st March for Dirty Water.

Check out these guys:
