Hasil Adkins will always be #1!!! Lightning Beat Man will always be a close 2nd, but you can't beat Hasil. Lightning Beat Man could definitely pin him, but Hasil wins the rock n roll battle.

Hasil!

Here's one I don't think anyone's mentioned yet: Jawbone

HAZE goes without saying for sure

if your a big fa n of hasils def should check out a troma flick some of my buddies made
die you zombie bastards
which has HAZE in it shortly before his death

my buddy willy from jumpin beans and the moustaches put out hazes last 7" on his ball records
guy has hours of cassette tapes of him talking to hasil on the phone from doing the record
pretty cool

as far as the new guys
i really dig on JOE BUCK YOURSELF and HAUNTED GEORGE

I've seen them several times. Great two piece; I don't know where a bass would even fit in. Like Ryan said, Dex can get into a mood, especially when he's really drunk. One time Dex kept saying he was going to stop playing rock, just give up, and switch to jazz. If you're wondering whether to see them. Go, you will be blown away!

Saw them once a couple years ago for the Bloodshot Records anniversary show. Thought they were really good, especially once they got into their set & warmed up.

I've seen them twice. The first time Dex was in some kind of mood and got upset when people shouted out Flat Duo Jets songs. The second time they were much better but played a lot of slow songs. Who are they playing with?

I see they have tour dates, wondering if anyone has a review of the show.

Theis tune is on a "Back To Front Vol.1" comp.

This live version is cool, if anyone haven't seen yet.

I highly recommend P.J. O'Connell's "Careful." One of my favorite discs of the past decade.

Feeling like offering me a super nice & kind & unforgettable present ?!?

Anyone ?!?

Knocked out by just reading this!

Just been to BROOKLYN ...F-U-C-K!

I'd go but I'm only 20 and can't go. This fucking sucks! :(

Hi John

This here's my 1962/63 first production run English Vox Phantom. It still features in my dreams! Saw you in the Fuzztones in Glasgow, Scotland way back when In Heat first came out. Awesome....just like my guitar. Cheers.

Barry

Well, thanks for that!

I have been loving that thing forever.

A brilliant compilation. Nice to see it getting renewed interest/coverage! (Thanks kopper.)

Saw this a couple years ago. It's absolutely fantastic.

In 1996, the Parallel World label released the LP "Cambodian Rocks", a collection of Cambodian psych and garage music from the 60s and early 70s (probably), compiled by an American tourist named Paul Wheeler from some cassettes he bought in Phnom Penh. No information on the songs was provided at all, no artist names, no song titles, and no recording dates. Four years later, Parallel World reissued this compilation on CD with a few extra tracks, but still without any identifying information. Unfortunately, it is more than likely that many of the featured musicians, showing a definite Western influence in their music, were murdered by the Khmer Rouge regime which took over power in 1975. Certainly none of them ever received any money from the sales of this compilation. However, the music is wonderful, and here it is for your enjoyment.

Bwhahahahaha, I'm so zoned out when I watch TV, I didn't even get it was the EXPLOSION, hehe.

+++ "Have love..." was featured in a phone commercial here in Spring - everytime they sell lame product, they take rad music for it to get to you.

I love hearing those songs with commercials, it makes TV great for a change.

Great band. But never seen them as good live as the first couple times I saw them years ago.

That makes me feel better in that I have a copy of the Short History of Rock N' Roll Psychosis book instead of the Wild World book. But, at least you were able to score a cheap copy that is worth some dough on Amazon.

Nice shtuff!!

Yeah... I'm shallow like that :P

I don't recall exactly what record it was but it was Kopper's radio show in St. Louis that got me hooked on Garage Punk. Thanks Kopper! I used to catch the second hour of the show every week.

hard to say listening to oldies radio when i was a kid probably more than any one record
then i was into punk bands which alot of the stuff i liked was very garage rock influenced before i knew what that meant

i first became aware of the modern garage scene when i bought a Mummies lp "never been caught" because of the awesome cover from bullmoose music in brunswhick maine when i was 17 circa 1996. that was def a big linking record for me putting together rock n roll and punk n surf all while dressed like bad ass mummies and acting like they completely did not give a fuck. how do you not love the shit out of that?

I was listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage with a friend and we heard a lot of old stuff and new stuff we had never heard before that sounded old (Hey...sounds like my podcast....). Well I heard ''Put The Clock Back On The Wall'' by The E-Types and I was hooked (Originally I actually thought they were a newer band haha). Except then, I didn't even know what I was hooked on until I read about The E-Types and then from there read about what exactly Garage was. I started downloading tons of songs by bands like The Chocolate Watchband and Electric Prunes (nuggets type bands) and eventually got the Nuggets Box Set. All downhill from there! It actually took over a year for me to get into the Revival stuff and new Garage Punk as a whole because I guess I was shy about it and didn't know what to think about it. Can't live without it now!
