      Old or new, I can't get enough of that sound but can't find much of it either. I'm talkin' crappy mic through a tiny guitar amp, terribly recorded, badass sound. New or old from the sonics to ty segall just throw me some good shit please!

      All this pretty much spot on. 
      In terms 2000's stuff, i'll also add:

      Fe Fi Fo Fums- shake all night 

      Live fast die- Bandana Thrash Record 

      Boys Club- s/t and all the 7's (like a poppier supercharger)

      Time Flys- Energy and Wet Ones 7's. "Fly" Lp too.

      Real Losers- music for funsters 

      Radio Beats- Ready to shake

      Of course , there's Randy Alvey and The Greenfuz , they sound like they were TRYING to sound as bad as possible 30 years before everyone else was trying to sound as bad as possible.

      Stack Waddy , from The UK , PLAYING RED MEAT -RAW R'N'B COVERS 5 YEARS AFTER IT'D GONE OUT OF STYLE.  They did cover a Jethro Tull song when it was still current ("Love Story" . Alexander Harvey did it , later.), and , when criticized for this move , said , "Well , we wrote it , din we?" One of their albums was called "Bugger Off!" because that's what they told the Sound Engineer.

      They were hilarious. "If mashed potatoes were security guards , we would'nt get anything done , if mashed potatoes were security guards , we would'nt have a  whole lot of fun !!!

      WHOA , WHOA , WHOA , WHOA ! MASHED POTATO !".  I had a two piece combo in 1982 , called Born in an Elevator. Well , sometimes a three piece. We were too young to play clubs , so we did two parties , then split.

      Deja Voodoo were amongst the very first of the 2 piece combos...starting about 1982 and lasting 8 years...Drum kit with no cymbals, 10 dollar guitar (like you mentioned) and a cheap amp. They would travel by Edsel in the early days (until the Edsel broke down) and then via bus and train with all of their equipment tightly packed as carry on luggage.

      Here's a link to their facebook page that has lots of pictures/posters and a few of the Edsel that i took many years ago:

      Deja Voodoo were also the people behind OG Records, the label responsible for releasing The Gruesomes records as well as many other cool recs.

      Tobacco A-Go-Go, a 3 volume Nuggets-like series of extinct garage and psych from NC in the 1960s compiled by Ken Friedman, is a great source for some really obscure vintage lo-fi rock. 

      That's where we found "Cool One", an especially aggressive tune by Winston Salem's Sounds Unlimited.  We liked it so much we covered it: http://theedirtybeats.bandcamp.com/track/cool-one

      -Andras

      THEE DIRTYBEATS - maximum vintage garage

      Tunnel of Love on Black Gladiator Records is pretty damn good and pretty damn gnarly. Recorded on a way-too-far-in-the-red cassette 4-track.
