Lately I listen to Lantern fronted by Zac Fairbrother (myspace.com/themagiclantern), PC Worship (myspace.com/pcworshipp), and the Super Vacations (myspace.com/meetthevacations) for current garage tunes. .
I like Ty Segall, he dips into a lot of outside influences like T. Rex, Syd Barret, British Invasion and even a bit of grunge but he's got the melodies and keeps it interesting. I probably don't speak for everyone but there is only so many times I can hear the Nuggets comp reinterpreted without wanting something new.

Cool, thanks for the info.
My friends run No Fun Records, which is an Ann Arbor/Buenos Aires label (distributed by Get Hip Records). The couple that owns/runs it are originally from Argentina but relocated to Ann Arbor, Michigan.
They put on some of the "cooler" shows in my area (unfortunately, Ann Arbor isn't teaming with as much of a cool music scene as one would expect; but No Fun does some cool stuff).
You should check out some of their catalog here: http://www.nofunrecords.com/index.php
There might be some good bands there for you to discover.

one of the best podcast of GPN...el tocadisco salvaje...full of south america garage bands!!!!...my fav are Los explosivos from mexico...wyld teenage fever!!!! & horror de luxe from brasil (raw swamp duo)
I am sure there are a great number of good bands coming out of that hemisphere. On a related note, I gotta say that Davilla 666 is a really cool group from Puerto Rico (I believe) with all lyrics sung in Spanish. This band seems to be doing a decent job of crossing international borders and breaking into the American market, and their kick-ass album on In The Red Records probably really helps.
It appears that we Americans don't hear much from South of the border. It is not surprising to hear European bands playing "American music", but I don't seem to notice too many bands from the South. It is like an odd "iron curtain" that keeps those bands out of our cultural loop. It probably boils down to some form of strange/tacet racism in light of Americans' Euro-centricism.
I am not going to get all sociological about it here, but I just have a feeling that Americans may be missing out on a lot of great bands from that part of the world. Does anybody have any good and easily accessible sources for finding out about this kind of music? Maybe La Bicicleta can give us some links to podcasts, etc...
Agreed. Oldies=Goodies, but hey it's good to keep it new too right?
Been really digging the Old Haunts lately. Stumbled upon them a few years back playing in an old mortuary house in Oregon, and have since rediscovered them I guess. They're from WAshington state. Worth checking out
cheers man! they sound great will listen to more

Besides the other mentioned this year i like the s/t Night Beats and Davila 666 Tan Bajo.
I'm putting on a gig for The Len Price 3 in London on October 14th, absolutely mind blowing live act with three great albums out, certainly one of my favourite current garage pop mod whatever you wanna call it bands...!
Check out two videos here:
Bloodshot Bill and all his side projects, like the Ding-Dongs (with Mark Sultan aka BBQ), Tandoori Knights (with King Khan), Mark Sultan.
If if you have the chance to see him live, he is the true spirit of rock n roll!
Cheers!
