Fair enough my opinion is based on The Mystreated's output. However another authentic band were The Kaisers, currently I think Paul Messis has picked up where the kids of 66 left off. BTW I do like the Cynics, a band that comes to mind from the same time as The Cynics are The Margins Of Sanity dont know much about them but pretty sure they were one of the few English bands at this time.

Being pretty rooted in the music of the 1960's, I am not a fan of current bands. By this I mean non-related 60's bands, BUT, and it's a BIG BUT, I absolutely love bands that take out time, effort and all the other aspects of being authentic. Some say that this is just copying, although I do heavily disagree. in my opinion they are just passionate about a certain period.

Anyway on with the question. Which bands do you consider to be the most authentic? I will go first.

The Mystreated from Folk-stone appeared from the ashes of The Sheds in 1991. They stormed in to the lives of garage fans with their 10 Boss Cuts LP. A very short L.P with a  convincing sound, that had you believe that a bunch of Herbert's just ran through their best songs as quickly as possible, in fear of running up a huge studio time bill.  That was followed by an impressive output of 45's and LP's that got better and better, and showed a natural progression from mid sixties acne ridden teen angst to an all out laid back dreamy psych approach, with a quick stop off at Folksville (not Folk stone - see what i did there) on the way.

So I have listed 5 good reasons why in my opinion. The Mystreated should be entered in The Garage Punk Hall Of Of Fame For Authenticity.

There's No Escape E.p, You Better run E.p She's Gone E.p, 10 Boss Cuts LP & Looking Right Through LP

Reddit is the best timesuck in the world. There are some places there that are way too dark, though.

Just added one for GaragePunk Pirate Radio in the GaragePunk subreddit:

Vote it up, yo!

I love Reddit!

I've never even heard of Reddit!

OK, I also posted it here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/GaragePunk/comments/xgf90/garagepunk_hideout_comp_series/

Didn't realize there was a GaragePunk subreddit. Still learning this stuff, sorry.

I just used Reddit for the first time to try to promote the Hideout Comp Series there. Do any of you use that site? I've never spent much time there myself (although I do have an account there, so I must have used it at one time, but for what, I don't know!). Here's the link:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/xgaws/the_garagepunk_hideout_comp_series/

Anyway, if any of you have an account there, please check out the post and vote it up and comment! Maybe it'll help us sell a few copies. ;)

Cheers!

That's who I thought of, too. Saw them open for Shonen Knife about two years ago, amazing what two guys can do.

Hi, I live in Austin. I am here because the music is exactly what I was looking for.  I was a teen all through the 70s.  Bands were playing / practicing in garages all over the city . It was way to cool.  You could pick and choose. The garage old school punk sound was considered pretty heavy back in the day, compared to today's standards.  I am just gonna enjoy myself. I did read the Terms Of Service before I signed up.  All is well. Good day, Drew F

My friend turned me on to a Swedish band called The Bad Losers. I don't know if you'd call 'em straight up glam , but , they seem to be Faces , Mott and Hanoi Rocks - influenced , for sure.

Pretty good .

A friend just pointed that out.  And another friend from MBR says "this is my pal phil king's project! he's responsible for most of the cool junk shop glam comps that have come out in the past few years. he also produced the jesse hector film i was featured in. he writes for a lot of london rock mags and now plays bass for jesus & mary chain. i'm planning on having him on the show in sept. when the band is in town."

Anybody heard about this glam book from the Singsing people - Wired Up? http://www.wiredupbook.com/#!home/mainPage Comes with a Hector 45 re-ish. Been looking forward to this for a while.

I gotta agree with both of you - as soon as I saw the discussion topic, in fact, I thought of that Brides record.   Oddly enough, I just picked it up last month.  Some foolish or desperate person sold his entire HUGE punk collection (over a thousand records) to my local record store in June, and I was able to get my hands on a bunch of Rip-Off Records releases, including the aforementioned Brides 45. 

Matt said:

Totally agree with that estimation on the Brides 45. PC Action is my favorite Time Flys song too.

The Cyborgs

Of course no U.S. punk band is worthy of Russia's Pussy Riot!! Hands down the greatest masked band EVER!!! Because they went to jail for their music and could overthrow Putin.

Daikaiju!! Fuggin' insane!
