I found this gem on youtube by the Standells. Basically it’s punk music 10 years before its time – the original pre-Hendrix version of ‘Hey Joe’. Also done in a similar proto-punk style by The Leaves, The Tangents and even the Byrds.
Amazing – just had to share it:
Dunno if it’s just me but sounds very much like The Animals on Paint It Black and some from The Stones
Those american garage bands were also called punk.
And the pistols started out doing Small Faces covers. So who’s to say when and what …
I knew about the 60’s garage bands and how they were said to influence punk in the mid 70’s but I didn’t realise how similar the music was and how big the garage movement was.
I’ve found lots more examples on Youtube – I think the music is better than most 70’s/80’s punk actually, with a few exceptions like the Undertones.I was originally looking for the earliest heavy metal type music but got sidetracked.
Incidentally the earliest of that genre I found was Blue Cheer, 1966 – their cover of Summertime Blues.And the pistols started out doing Small Faces covers. So who’s to say when and what …
I wonder if they did Ichicoo Park and Sha la la la lee – difficult to imagine!
Indeed.
Actually I love any 60’s band that DIDN’T sing in american accents.
wanst quite the explosive punk back then tho was it , something that went BANG !!!!!!!!!! and set of decades of diff fashions, trends , teen cults from late 70,s until early 9o,s , personaly i dnt think anything like it will ever happen again, rock n roll in the 60,s set it all off then , punk was the start of the brilliant late 70,s 80,s era , what will set it off again ? cant see it happening
If you want to hear more garage bands of the 60’s try the ‘Pebbles’ or ‘Nuggets’ compilation albums
. . . . .
Wipe Out – The Surfaris
Walk Don’t Run – The Ventures
Misirlou – Dick Dale & The Del Tones.
although more to do with surfin and pre-garage of course.
