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

Try the first 2 Loli and the Chones singles (Weenie Choker Rock N Roll and Straitjacket Baby/Makeout Party) .... also the first, greatest Donnas album (The Donnas)... and Thee Tee Pees... All the Rip Off Records compilations too (Spoiled Brats etc) ... and of course the very first recordings by Jay Reatard under the name of The Reatards... Not to mention the mighty Supercharger / The Brentwoods and any other stuff made by the lo-fi genius Darin Raffaelli.
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

the hentchmen!
Don't know much about what Billy Childish has been doing lately but Thee Mighty Caesars have always been one of my faves.
Atomic Suplex and Theee Bat if they haven't been listed yet.
Some of my favorites: The Cheater Slicks, the Gories, the Mummies, Magnitude 3 (from Japan), the Go Devils (Japanese girl band), Andre Williams (Silky LP), the Sonics, Thee Headcoats, the Bassholes, Pussy Galore, Demolition Doll Rods, Supercharger, the Oblivians, Thee Bat, Atomic Suplex, etc... I could go on and on. There's lots of great trash rawk waiting for you to unearth it!

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.
Surely you're refering to the Mutants of the Holocaust! Definately lo-fi (try no-fi), definately trashy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8sFbeVa4A8&context=C41b6b64ADvjVQa1PpcFOFIf9GNGPoeCVFUYblX-5t9ZfPVDpY_gg=
The Hunches are a good noisy/trashy lo-fi garage punk band you could check out.
I love lo-fi!
I also love the irony of it being played on a hi-fi too.....
Lo-fi ish bands I like include:
Surfy/lo-fi/garage.....
Lo-fi garage pop
The Babies are a lil bit lo-fi? in an indie rock way maybe....
i hate it, but i'm going to go ahead and use this as an oppurtunity for shameless self=promotion! i play in a sludgy, reverb-drenched, garage band...here's the link to our bandcamp, i think there's everything we've released on tapes here.."under the stairs" was recorded on 4track - i hope it scratches your itch! http://magicshadows.bandcamp.com/track/under-the-stairs-4-track-demo
How about some groovy trashy lo-fi slimy Canadians:
hands down, HOZAK Records is putting out tons and tons of the best new garage every month....the groovy tashy lo-fi slimy kind...not the comb your hair forward, poser kind..
I hear it all. You cant go wrong w/ Hozak.
...and I'm sure everyone here has a working knowledge of Estrus Records by now.
