I love me some Sundazed vinyl! Very high quality stuff...

Check out these great surf releases available on Sundazed Music (available in August).

Click here.

A thunderous batch of releases chronicling the big ’60s roar of West Coast surf ’n’ hot rod! Sundazed has given this groundbreaking music the royal treatment: meticulous mastering from the original analog tapes and pressed on high-definition vinyl. Sundazed continues to set and maintain the surf and hot rod reissue standard!

I'd 2nd the nod to MRR....lately they've been doing more current garagepunk stuff and also covering some of the 77 punk that seems to be getting a bit more interest lately with some of the original bands reuniting. On the present scene there's Mongrel Zine out of Vancouver: http://www.mongrelzine.ca/ But i might be kinda biased on this one as i write for it...LOL...they cover lots of garagepunk, cool art and the last 5 issues have also come with a really cool comp CD. There's also Lost In Tyme from Greece: http://www.myspace.com/lostintymefanzine Again, i might be biased as i write for this one too. This covers some 60's garage, lots of 80's garage and some current 60's style garage bands. Also comes with a really cool comp CD. And like Alex says above, Ugly Things and Shindig are DEFINITELY worth getting... There's a few others out there as well. and

Oh yeah! Roctober is fantastic! Thanks for mentioning that one... I'd completely forgotten about it. http://www.roctober.com/roctober/index.html Ken (Evil Empire Records) said:

Roctober can be a pretty good read, especially if you like cartoons.

Man, I really miss Horizontal Action. Noises From the Garage was great, too. Gearhead magazine is a pretty worthwhile read, esp. if you dig cars and punk/rock'n'roll. But yeah, get a subscription to Ugly Things. Mike Stax is a member of this network, actually, but I don't think he checks in very often. Too bad... it'd be great to have him contributing more.

In print, there's Ugly Things and Shindig. Ugly Things is by far the best. In fact, it's incredible. I do think that MRR has lots of entertaining reads that are non-music, and they do cover a decent amount of garage. They just had a cover story on Bad Sports and Ty segall.

Online, I'd recommend Terminal Boredom, Garage Hangover, Nortonville, Kicksville66, The Houndblog, WFMU Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban, KBD Records.

Can anybody suggest some good ones?  I'm mainly interested in print, but online are also cool. 

I don't mean stuff like MRR which seems more hardcore punk and political oriented. 

Stuff that focuses on garage, garage-punk, surf etc. is what I want. 

The best I've found so far are both from Greece.  Lost in Tyme and Rumble Skunk.  They are both great and have tons of content, but only seem to come out once or twice a year. 

I've never seen any and I'd be very surprised if any existed at all. Photos from that time period are rare enough as it is. Filming bands back then (esp. live) rarely ever happened unless they happened to be on a TV variety/dance show and someone saved the footage.

First off, Hello. I'm new to the site & second off I was just wondering if anybody out there knows if there is any live Sonics footage from the 60's. I've found lots of reunion stuff on youtube, but I really want to see them in their prime.

I only listen from landlocked New Mexico, surfing down the Rio Grande

That's more like it! My chickenfarms, my browntapwater, my shoppingcarttamales GO HOME!

Right on Matt, I updated it. Locals only!

I like my kidney's. You can have my liver... it smells kinda rotten at the mo tho...

You got it, brother! Its a weekly show called PDR, and they podcast it for ultra convenience. I'll post a link to it after the fact. IDON MINE said:

OK, I'm half-containing myself... ONLY HALF!

AWESOME! HELLA SWELL!
Now, that streaming business is all fine and dandy BUT you fine guys just (PLEASE) GOT to record that as a downloadable podcast!
You are right, I could just snap it off the net with a audio-recording device when it airs, but I will be away from the internets at that time this is on, most possibly, so... big sissy wheep if I won't get to hear that one!

It's going good so far Kopper. Looks like I may have to order some more... kopper said:

I saw him several years ago with Boss Hog, he looked a little bored just playing rhythm guitar,not like the guy who's ready to jump out of his skin that we're used to seeing.I'm going to try to make it out to see him,the only problem is he's part of that festival deal and there is tons of filler(only my opinion).

Just saw Heavy Trash a few weeks back, KILLER show!!! Looked like the whole band was having a blast as was everybody in the place! Jon really dug the opening band, catl (killer 3 piece blues/punk outta Toronto) and was getting those cats drinks during their show....fun time had by all!!

you´re so right man. seems like everything he twanges turns to gold... lawrence galvan III said:
