I have been searching for this sound that i cant find i think that it's got that fuzztones type organ and the fuzz guitar like Link Wray and the wierd themes like The Cramps, I'm sure there are other bands that have this, any suggestions?

 I always liked The Pandoras , still do , in fact , but , for my money , The Brood had a bigger and better body of work. They stuck to their guns....I know it was hard NOT to go metal in Late 80's L.A. , but other bands bands resisted. Does'nt mean most of 'em got work. I remember hearing a track from "Rock Hard" on the radio , and the DJ literally stopped the record ,apologizing for playing it.  

Check out The Wailers, contemporaries of The Sonics from the same region, Pacific Northwest. Also, The Music Machine and The Seeds. The Nuggets box set is a good place to start digging too.

Here's another from a band that we loved in the 90's. It might scratch your itch.

Ultra 5 "She's the Girl"

I would also say, that this sound is quite around and we are really awash with good and not so good bands that play with these elements.

By your description, WILD EVEL AND THE TRASHBONES would also fit your taste. Hard working, hard partying - both on stage. They got this shit down.

Thank you for the pic. I saw The Pandoras once , it was the "Stop Pretending" lineup.

They used modern gear , but were right on the money , musically.....Then they went "Metal"....I guess there's a few people that liked that stuff.I have yet to speak to one. I even heard a DJ take the EP "Rock Hard" off the turntable , and apologize for playing it.

If you are looking for fuzztonessoundalikes... go find the band the fuzztones ripped off 97.65% - top fuzz twin gits, organ whirling, tuff vocals, great lyrics, all black wearing, one glove toting geniuses just go to The Music Machine.

OK, I'm confused. You posted this topic in the '50s/'60s group, but are you looking for '60s bands or are you looking for more modern bands that play in that style? If you're looking for modern bands, there are thousands like that (what you're describing is simply the garage style of rock'n'roll with lotsa fuzz guitar/distortion, Vox or Farfisa organs, and primitive production). Try listening to our podcasts... that'd be a good place to start.

Maybe 1313 Mockingbird Lane , The Worst , Fortune and Maltese , Royal Nonesuch , The Brood , Gruesomes , Tell - Tale Hearts , Cynics , (Early) Pandoras , Ugly Beats , Untamed Youth , as far as Reagan Administration and after goes . But , I've heard virtually NO ONE that sounded remotely like Link Wray , The Sonics , The Cramps , nor even The Count V.

You can't buy that sound. Bands should listen to past masters for inspiration , then go out and find their own thing.

Start with Pebbles Vol. 5 for the old school comps that match what you're seeking.  If you are looking for current bands we suggest the Chesterfield Kings, the Woggles or Mondo Topless (their song "Panty Sniffer" meets all 3 of your criteria). 

Mondo Topless "Panty Sniffer" live

Try Early Zombina and The Skeletines, or the Love-Me-Nots for present day kicks like this.

there will be more... but I'm all Eastered out...

As far as that 60's go you gotta dive deeper into the depths of 60's Garage. Start with some comps like Pebbles, Back From The Grave, and Teenage Shutdown.
