I've been surprised at how many good bands I've discovered on Bandcamp. If you haven't already, check out The Spyrals, Great Society Mind Destroyers, Magic Shoppe, and Radar Eyes.

We're hardly new, but we do have a new release that you might dig. Check our page here to hear it.

You could always check out the Hideout Comp Series. Seven volumes chock full of new bands from right here on the Hideout!

Smoggersssssssssss from Spain

I'm hoping some people answer this. The closest I know to 'new' is The Ponys or Nashville Pussy.

I need some fresh shit. anything psych, garage, experimental.

Give me some fresh 2012 masterpiece.

I was into the "heavier" psychedelic stuff already in 1970, but I do dig Grapefruit. Great heads up man:):)

Yea I have this rekkid too , but haven't given it a spin for some tyme.... thanx for reminding me !

Just found a copy of this LP yesterday. Been looking out for it for a while. 1968 Stateside records. Not many people I know are familiar with this band. Anybody here into this album?

They actually released the fast version before on Live Killers! They play WWRY twice on that record, opening version is the fast one, encore version is the lamer one.

But the demo version is dirtier/cooler than the live one.

I don't care much for the boom boom clap, cheerleader version...that is all worn out.

Ha! that's crazy and dare I say it, that demo version is way better than the actual released version.

That fucking ROCKS!!!! Never would have expected noise like that from Queen!!! I'd written them off many many years ago.....

Without Freddie, the only way they could do "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is as a surf instrumental. They encompassed everything from Beatles-esque pop to funk, to more barking stuff, so it's no suprise there. WHen I heard "Killer Queen" as a kid, I originally thought it was by The Beatles.

You're absolutely right. They both sound identical at the beginning. But I never would have known that unless I was familiar with the "We Will Rock You" demo, which I have never heard before. Very cool!

I realize queen is is neither garage nor punk...but I figured somebody would at least weigh in or...something. Anybody even listen to the tunes in question?

Don't mind me. I'm just old and cranky. Now get off of my lawn.

Hey thanks. If you hadn't just taught me that opinions don't matter, I might have had another one.

Not true. I grew up in the 60s listening to and loving both and so did most the people I knew. I never even heard this either/or absolutism until nearly 20 years after The Beatles broke up.

Now that I'm older, I like The Animals better than either.

It's funny that you ask this. I've always said, there are 2 kinds of people, Beatles and Stones, and they don't mix well. I am definitely Stones, my wife is Beatles. If only I'd asked 11 years ago...

If I had to choose I'd go with The Beatles. Though I love (Brian Jones era) Stones.

Bob Spitz does a good job covering the early years of the Beatles (Ringo doesn't even appear until about half way through, and the book is 1000+ pages). They were definitely a lot rougher than their Fab Four image. Great stories about John bangining 15 year old twins, Brian Epstein having to get doctors to deal the with the lad's VD, and Paul having to leave town to avoid the angry father of a girl he knocked up. Good read!

Can I vote for The Kinks?

OK peeps, here's the latest article I wrote about one cool little trashy cheap rockin' geetar!!! http://drowninginguitars.com/2012/05/20/lil-rocker-1960s-cameo-deluxe-japanese-electric-guitar/
