Hey guys, I wanted to use this as an introduction too, I love this website and everything in it, there are some hidden garage gems that I had no idea existed and I'm glad I signed up! 

Now, if you ever have the time, check out my bandcamp and tell me what you think, these are Garage/Surf/Punk Rock tracks that I record in my bedroom in Canada. If you like it, share it with your friends, it would be really gnarly!

Have an awesome day

Now if i could just figure out how to add pictures from my computer to this posting i'd add some pics i've taken...

double post, edit

oh cool! I liked the Ride Theory a lot. Curious to hear Young Rival now

Ride Theory are now a 3 piece going by the name of Young Rival....Young Rival are minimal guitar pop with a bit of 60's Kinks influences. I've seen them live a couple of times and they still put on a pretty good show.

Whatever happend to the Nasty On from Vancouver?

How did Tricky Woo go from Mc5 to Grateful Dead  in under 3 years?

Are the Ride Theory from Hamilton still playing?
