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?
