'''Garage rock''' (sometimes called '''garage punk''' or '''{{'}}60s punk''') is a raw and energetic style of [[rock music]] that flourished in the mid-1960s, most notably in the United States and Canada, and has experienced a series of subsequent revivals.  The style is characterized by basic [[chord (music)|chord]] structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a [[distortion (music)|fuzzbox]], as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery. Its name derives from the perception that groups were often made up of young amateurs who rehearsed in the family [[Garage (residential)|garage]], although many were professional.

In the US and Canada, [[surf rock]]—and later [[the Beatles]] and other [[beat music|beat]] groups of the [[British Invasion]]—motivated thousands of young people to form bands between 1963 and 1968.  Hundreds of grass-roots acts produced regional hits, some of which gained national popularity, usually played on [[AM radio]] stations.  With the advent of [[psychedelic music|psychedelia]], numerous garage bands incorporated exotic elements into the genre's primitive stylistic framework. After 1968, as more sophisticated forms of rock music came to dominate the marketplace, garage rock records largely disappeared from national and regional charts, and the movement faded. Other countries in the 1960s experienced similar rock movements that have sometimes been characterized as variants of garage rock.

During the 1960s, garage rock was not recognized as a distinct genre and had no specific name, but critical hindsight in the early 1970s—and especially the 1972 [[compilation album]] ''[[Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968|Nuggets]]''—did much to define and memorialize the style.  Between 1971 and 1973, certain American [[rock critic]]s began to retroactively identify the music as a genre and for several years used the term "[[punk rock#Etymology|punk rock]]" to describe it, making it the first form of music to bear the description, predating the more familiar use of the term appropriated by the later [[punk rock]] movement that its musical approach influenced.  The term "garage rock" gained favor amongst commentators and devotees during the 1980s.  The style has also been referred to as "[[proto-punk]]", or, in certain instances, "frat rock".

In the early to mid-1980s, several revival scenes emerged featuring acts that consciously attempted to replicate the look and sound of 1960s garage bands.  Later in the decade, a louder, more contemporary garage subgenre developed that combined garage rock with modern punk rock and other influences, sometimes using the [[garage punk (punk subgenre)|garage punk]] label originally and otherwise associated with 1960s garage bands.  In the 2000s, a wave of garage-influenced acts associated with the [[post-punk revival]] emerged, and some achieved commercial success.  Garage rock continues to appeal to musicians and audiences who prefer a "back to basics" or the "[[Do it yourself|DIY (Do-It-Yourself)]]" musical approach ethic.

The term "garage rock", often used in reference to 1960s acts, stems from the perception that many performers were young amateurs who rehearsed in the family garage.{{sfn|Shuker|2005|p=140}}  While numerous bands were made up of middle-class teenagers from the suburbs, others were from rural or urban areas or were composed of professional musicians in their twenties.{{sfn|Abbey|2006|p=74}}{{sfn|Flanagan|2014}}

Referring to the 1960s, Mike Markesich commented "teenage rock & roll groups (i.e. combos) proliferated Everywheresville USA".{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=5}}  Though it is impossible to determine how many garage bands were active in the era, their numbers were extensive{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|p=49|2a1=Nobles|2y=2012|2p=21}} in what Markesich has characterized as a "cyclonic whirlwind of musical activity like none other".{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=9}} According to Mark Nobles, it is estimated that between 1964 and 1968 over 180,000 bands formed in the United States,{{sfn|Nobles|2012|p=21}} and several thousand US garage acts made records during the era.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=49}}{{efn|On page 49, Markesich mentions that the book's core discography (consisting almost exclusively of US acts) includes approximately 16,000 recordings made by over 4500 groups.  Release dates for records generally range from 1963 to 1972 (with several later exceptions), but the vast bulk of the discography is composed of records released between 1964 and 1968).}}

Garage bands performed in a variety of venues.  Local and regional groups typically played at parties, school dances, and teen clubs.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=16|2a1=Tupica|2y=2013}}  For acts of legal age (and in some cases younger), bars, nightclubs, and college fraternity socials also provided regular engagements.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=16|2a1=Fensterstock|2y=2013}}  Occasionally, groups had the opportunity to [[Opening act|open at shows]] for famous touring acts.{{sfn|Nobles|2012|p=75}}  Some garage rock bands went on tour, particularly those better-known, but even more obscure groups sometimes received bookings or airplay beyond their immediate locales.{{sfn|Nobles|2012|pp=75, 83–88}}  Groups often competed in "[[Battle of the Bands|battles of the bands]]", which allowed musicians to gain exposure and a chance to win a prize, such as free equipment or recording time in a local studio.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=20|2a1=Hicks|2y=1999|2p=25|3a1=Lemlich|3y=1992|3pp=17–18, 30}}  Contests were held, locally, regionally and nationally, and three of the most prestigious national events were held annually by the Tea Council of the US,{{sfn|Lemlich|1992|pp=17–18, 30}} the [[Music Circus]],{{sfnm|1a1=Lemlich|1y=1992|1pp=17–18, 30|2a1=Tupica|2y=2013|3a1=Markesich|3y=2012|3p=20}} and the [[United States Junior Chamber]].{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=20}}

Performances often sounded amateurish, naïve, or intentionally raw, with typical themes revolving around the traumas of high school life and songs about "lying girls" being particularly common.{{sfn|Shuker|2005|p=140}}  The lyrics and delivery were frequently more aggressive than that of the more established acts of the time, often with nasal, growled, or shouted vocals, sometimes punctuated by shrieks or screams at climactic moments of release.{{sfnm|1a1=Shuker|1y=2005|1p=140|2a1=Tupica|2y=2013|3a1=Bogdanov|3a2=Woodstra|3a3=Erlewine|3y=2002|3p=3}}  Instrumentation was frequently characterized by basic [[chord (music)|chord]] structures played on electric guitars or keyboards often distorted through a [[Distortion (music)#1960s: fuzz, distortion, and introduction of commercial devices|fuzzbox]], teamed with bass and drums.{{sfn|Hicks|1999|pp=18–22}}  Guitarists sometimes played using aggressive-sounding [[Barre chord|bar chord]]s or [[power chords]].{{sfn|Hicks|1999|pp=17–18}}  Portable organs such as the [[Farfisa]] were used frequently and harmonicas and hand-held percussion such as [[tambourines]] were not uncommon.{{sfn|Roller|2013|p=119}}<ref>{{cite web|title= Garage Rock Revival|website= AllMusic|url= http://www.allmusic.com/style/garage-rock-revival-ma0000012343|access-date= November 11, 2015|archive-date= November 12, 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151112003445/http://www.allmusic.com/style/garage-rock-revival-ma0000012343|url-status= live}}</ref> Occasionally, the tempo was sped up in passages sometimes referred to as "raveups".{{sfn|Hicks|1999|p=31}}

Garage rock acts were diverse in both musical ability and style, ranging from crude and amateurish to near-studio level musicianship.  There were also regional variations in flourishing scenes, such as in California and Texas.{{sfn|Hicks|1999|pp=23–24, 53–54, 60–61, 67}}  The north-western states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon had a distinctly recognizable regional sound with bands such as [[the Sonics]] and [[Paul Revere&nbsp;& the Raiders]].{{sfnm|1a1=Blecha|1y=2009|1pp=x, 169–188|2a1=Campbell|2y=2004|2pp=213–214}}

[[File:The Music Machine.png|thumb|[[The Music Machine]], featuring [[Sean Bonniwell]], in 1966]]

In the 1960s, garage rock had no name and was not thought of as a genre distinct from other rock and roll of the era.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|pp=5, 294}}  Rock critic and future [[Patti Smith Group]] guitarist [[Lenny Kaye]] remarked that the period "dashed by so fast that nobody knew much of what to make of it while it was around".{{sfn|Kaye|1972}}  In the early 1970s, Kaye and other US rock critics, such as [[Dave Marsh]], [[Lester Bangs]], and [[Greg Shaw]], began to retroactively draw attention to the music, speaking nostalgically of mid-1960s garage bands (and subsequent artists then perceived to be their stylistic inheritors) for the first time as a genre.{{sfnm|1a1=Shaw|1y=1973|1p=68|2a1=Laing|2y=2015|2pp=22–23}}

"Garage rock" was not the initial name applied to the style.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=295}}  In the early 1970s such critics used the term "[[punk rock#Etymology|punk rock]]" to characterize it,{{sfnm|1a1=Laing|1y=2015|1pp=21–23|2a1=Bangs|2y=2003|2pp=8, 56–57, 61, 64, 101, 113, 225}} making it the first musical form to bear the description.{{sfn|Laing|2015|pp=22–23}}  While the coinage of the term "punk" in relation to rock music is unknown,{{sfn|Laing|2015|p=21}} it was sometimes used then to describe primitive or rudimentary rock musicianship,{{sfn|Flanagan|2014}}{{efn|Used in this sense, the term is detectable as early as 1968 in [[the Mothers of Invention|Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention]]'s song "Flower Punk", which, amongst other things, parodies amateur musicians and mimics the lyrics of garage rock staple "[[Hey Joe]]".<ref name="pc42">{{Gilliland |url=https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19801/m1/ |title=Show 42 - The Acid Test: Psychedelics and a sub-culture emerge in San Francisco.

Much of the revival of interest in 1960s garage rock can be traced to the release of the 1972 album ''[[Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era|Nuggets]]'' compiled by Lenny Kaye.{{sfnm|1a1=Unterberger|1y=1998|1p=69|2a1=Smith|2y=2009|2pp=96–98|3a1=Hicks|3y=1999|3pp=106–107}} In the liner notes, Kaye used "punk rock" as a collective term for 1960s garage bands and also "garage-punk" to describe a song recorded in 1966 by the Shadows of Knight.{{sfn|Kaye|1972}}  In the January 1973 ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' review of ''Nuggets'', [[Greg Shaw]] commented: "Punk rock is a fascinating genre ... Punk rock at its best is the closest we came in the 1960s to the original rockabilly spirit of rock &  roll."{{sfn|Shaw|1973|p=68}}  In addition to ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Creem'', writings about the genre appeared in various independent "fanzine" publications during the period.{{sfn|Laing|2015|p=23}}  In May 1973, Billy Altman launched the short-lived ''punk magazine'',{{efn|Letters in title were not capitalized.[http://black2com.blogspot.com/2010/04/punk-volume-1-number-1-fanzine.html]}}{{sfn|Laing|2015|p=23}} which pre-dated the more familiar [[Punk (magazine)|1975 publication of the same name]], but, unlike the later magazine, was largely devoted to discussion of 1960s garage and psychedelic acts.{{sfn|Laing|2015|p=23}}  Greg Shaw's seasonal publication, ''[[Bomp! Records#Magazine|Who Put the Bomp!]]'', was influential amongst enthusiasts and collectors of the genre in the early 1970s.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|pp=38–39}}

Though the phrase "punk rock" was the favored generic term in the early 1970s,{{sfn|Laing|2015|pp=22–23}} "garage band" was also mentioned in reference to groups.{{sfn|Flanagan|2014}}  In ''Rolling Stone'' in March 1971, [[John Mendelsohn (musician)|John Mendelsohn]] made an oblique reference to "every last punk teenage garage band having its Own Original Approach".{{sfn|Flanagan|2014}}  The term "punk rock" was later appropriated by the more commonly-known [[punk rock]] movement that emerged in the mid-1970s{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=295|2a1=Aaron|2y=2013|2p=51}} and is now most commonly applied to groups associated with that movement or who followed in its wake.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|pp=294–296}}  For the 1960s style, the term "garage rock" came into favor in the 1980s.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=295|2a1=Bangs|2y=1981|2pp=261–264}}{{efn|The term "garage rock" was used as early as 1977 by Lester Bangs to describe punk band [[the Dead Boys]] in an article appearing in the October 24 edition of ''The Village Voice''.{{sfn|Bangs|2003a|p=108}} Bangs describes the Dead Boys as "classic trashy garage rock".  However, it is difficult to determine whether it was used in quite the same generic sense it is now.  Bangs' subsequent 1981 essay "Protopunk: The Garage Bands", which appeared in ''The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll'', does use the term "garage bands" to describe 1960s groups,{{sfn|Bangs|1981|pp=261-264}} but not the term "garage rock", indicating that a consensus may not have yet (in 1981) coalesced around the term "garage rock" as the name for the 1960s genre.}}  According to Mike Markesich: "Initially launched into the underground vernacular at the start of the '80s, the garage tag ... slowly sifted its way amid like-minded fans to finally be recognized as a worthy descriptive replacement".{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=295}}  The term "garage punk" has also persisted,{{sfn|Aaron|2013|p=52}} and style has been referred to as {{"'}}60s punk"{{sfn|Markesich|2012|pp=39–40}} and "[[proto-punk]]".{{sfn|Bangs|1981|pp=261–264}}  "Frat rock" has been used to refer to the [[Rhythm & blues|R&B]]- and [[Surf music|surf rock]]- derived garage sounds of certain acts, such as [[the Kingsmen]] and others.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1pp=10–12|2a1=Shaw|2y=1998|2pp=18–19}}

In the late 1950s, the initial impact of [[rock and roll]] on mainstream American culture waned as major record companies took a controlling influence and sought to market more conventionally acceptable recordings.{{sfn|Morrison|2005|pp=383–342}} Electric musical instruments (particularly guitars) and amplification were becoming more affordable, allowing young musicians to form small groups to perform in front of local audiences of their peers; and in some areas there was a breakdown, especially among radio audiences, of traditional black and white markets, with more white teenagers listening to and purchasing [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] records.

Numerous young people were inspired by musicians such as [[Chuck Berry]],{{sfn|Roller|2013|p=15}} [[Little Richard]],{{sfn|Blecha|2007|p=59}} [[Bo Diddley]],{{sfn|Blecha|2007|p=59}} [[Jerry Lee Lewis]],{{sfn|Roller|2013|p=15}} [[Buddy Holly]],{{sfn|Roller|2013|p=115}} and [[Eddie Cochran]],{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=10}} whose recordings of relatively unsophisticated and hard-driving songs from a few years earlier{{sfn|Roller|2013|p=15}} proclaimed personal independence and freedom from parental controls and conservative norms.{{sfn|Gilmore|1990}} [[Ritchie Valens]]' 1958 hit "[[La Bamba (song)|La Bamba]]" helped jump-start the [[Chicano rock]] scene in Southern California and provided a [[Three-chord song|three-chord]] template for the songs of numerous 1960s garage bands.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ritchie Valens Biography|website=Rock & Roll Hall of Fame|url=https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/ritchie-valens|access-date=August 23, 2016|archive-date=August 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820161007/https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/ritchie-valens|url-status=live}}</ref> By the end of the 1950s regional scenes were abundant around the country and helped set the stage for garage rock the 1960s.{{sfn|Shaw|1998|pp=18–19}}

According to [[Lester Bangs]], "the origins of garage rock as a genre can be traced to California and the Pacific Northwest in the early Sixties".{{sfn|Bangs|1981|pp=261–264}} The [[Pacific Northwest]], which encompasses [[Washington (state)|Washington]], [[Oregon]], and [[Idaho]], played a critical role in the inception of garage rock, hosting the first scene to produce a sizable number of acts, and pre-dated the [[British Invasion]] by several years.  The signature garage sound that eventually emerged in the Pacific Northwest is sometimes referred to as "the Northwest Sound" and had its origins in the late 1950s, when a handful of R&B and rock & roll acts sprang up in various cities and towns in an area stretching from Puget Sound to Seattle and Tacoma, and beyond.{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=6, 26, 159–160}}

There and elsewhere, groups of teenagers were inspired directly by touring [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] performers such as [[Johnny Otis]] and [[Richard Berry (musician)|Richard Berry]], and began to play [[cover version]]s of R&B songs.{{sfn|Blecha|2009|p=1}}  During the late 1950s and early 1960s other instrumental groups playing in the region, such as [[the Ventures]], formed in 1958 in [[Tacoma, Washington]], who came to specialize in a surf rock sound,{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=98–99}} and [[The Frantics (Seattle, Washington)|the Frantics]] from Seattle.<ref>{{cite web|last=Planer|first=Lindsay|title=The Frantics: The Complete Frantics on Dolton (Review)|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-complete-frantics-on-dolton-mw0000142891|access-date=June 1, 2016|archive-date=September 28, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160928012346/http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-complete-frantics-on-dolton-mw0000142891|url-status=live}}</ref> The Blue Notes from Tacoma, Washington, fronted by [[Rockin' Robin Roberts|"Rockin' Robin" Roberts]], were one of the city's first teenage rock & roll bands.{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=28–33}} [[The Fabulous Wailers|The Wailers]] (often referred to as the Fabulous Wailers) had a national chart hit in 1959, the instrumental "Tall Cool One".{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=23, 26, 35–37, 64–65, 67–68}}  After the demise of the Blue Notes, "Rockin' Robin" did a brief stint with the Wailers, and with him on vocals in 1962, they recorded a version of Richard Berry's 1957 song "[[Louie Louie]]"—their arrangement became the much-replicated blueprint for practically every band in the region,{{sfnm|1a1=Blecha|1y=2009|1pp=78–85, 90, 109–116, 138–140, 189–190|2a1=Morrison|2y=2005|2pp=838–842}} including Portland's [[the Kingsmen]] who went on to achieve a major hit with it the following year.{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=119, 135–138}}

Other regional scenes of teenage bands playing R&B-oriented rock were well-established in the early 1960s, several years before the [[British Invasion]], in places such as [[Texas]] and the [[Midwest]].{{sfnm|1a1=Hicks|1y=1999|1p=24|2a1=Roller|2y=2013|2pp=22–29}}  At the same time, in [[Southern California]] surf bands formed, playing raucous guitar- and saxophone-driven instrumentals.{{sfn|Bangs|1981|pp=261–264}}  Writer Neil Campbell commented: "There were literally thousands of rough-and-ready groups performing in local bars and dance halls throughout the US ''prior'' to the arrival of the Beatles&nbsp;... [T]he indigenous popular music which functioned in this way&nbsp;... was the proto-punk more commonly identified as ''garage rock''".{{sfn|Campbell|2004|page=213}}

As a result of cross-pollination between surf rock, hot rod music, and other influences, a new style of rock sometimes referred to as ''frat rock'' emerged, which has been mentioned as an early subgenre of garage rock.{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1pp=10–12|2a1=Shaw|2y=1998|2pp=18–19}}  [[The Kingsmen]]'s 1963 off-the-cuff version of "Louie Louie"<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/25/arts/richard-berry-songwriter-of-louie-louie-dies-at-61.html Songwriter of Louie Louie dies ] Retrieved 07 April 2022</ref> became the de facto "big bang" for three-chord rock, starting as a regional hit in Seattle, then rising to No.&nbsp;1 on the national charts and eventually becoming a major success overseas.{{sfnm|1a1=Bangs|1y=1981|1pp=261–264|2a1=Blecha|2y=2009|2pp=119, 135–138}}  The group unwittingly became the target of an [[FBI]] investigation in response to complaints about the song's alleged use of profanity in its nearly indecipherable lyrics.{{sfn|Blecha|2009|pp=133–138, 151–155}}

===Impact of the Beatles and the British Invasion===
{{Further|Cultural impact of the Beatles|British Invasion}}

During the mid-1960s, garage rock entered its most active period, prompted by the influence of [[the Beatles]] and [[the British Invasion]].{{sfnm|1a1=Shaw|1y=1998|1pp=18–20|2a1=Nobles|2y=2012|2pp=7–10}}  On February 9, 1964, during their first visit to the United States, the Beatles made an historic appearance on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'' watched by a record-breaking viewing audience of a nation mourning the recent death of [[President John F. Kennedy]].{{sfnm|1a1=Lemlich|1y=1992|1pp=2–3|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2pp=7–8, 10–11|3a1=Dean|3y=2014}}  For many, particularly the young, the Beatles' visit re-ignited the sense of excitement and possibility that had momentarily faded in the wake of the assassination.{{sfnm|1a1=Lemlich|1y=1992|1pp=2–3|2a1=Dean|2y=2014}}  Much of this new excitement was expressed in rock music, often to the chagrin of parents and elders.{{sfnm|1a1=Lemlich|1y=1992|1pp=1–4|2a1=Dean|2y=2014|3a1=Spitz|3y=2013|3p=56}}

In the wake of the Beatles' first visit, a subsequent string of successful British [[beat group]]s and acts achieved success in America between 1964 and 1966, often referred to in the US as "the British Invasion".  Such acts had a profound impact, leading many (often [[Surf music|surf]] or [[Hot rod music|hot rod]] groups) to respond by altering their style, and countless new bands to form, as teenagers around the country picked up guitars and started bands by the thousands.{{sfn|Dean|2014}}  In many cases, garage bands were particularly influenced by the increasingly bold sound of a second wave of British groups with a harder, blues-based attack, such as [[the Kinks]], [[the Who]], [[the Animals]], [[the Yardbirds]], [[Small Faces]], [[Pretty Things]], [[Them (band)|Them]],{{sfn|Hicks|1999|pp=17–18, 62}}<ref>{{cite web|last=Janovitz|first=Bill|title=Them - 'Gloria'|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/gloria-mt0012129851|access-date=June 8, 2017|archive-date=August 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806234636/https://www.allmusic.com/song/gloria-mt0012129851|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[the Rolling Stones]]{{sfn|Shepherd|2012|p=222}} often resulting in a raw and primitive sound.  Numerous acts sometimes characterized as garage rock formed in countries outside North America, such as England's [[the Troggs]].{{sfnm|1a1=Hicks|1y=1999|1p=36|2a1=Buckley|2y=2003|2p=1103}}  Their 1966 worldwide hit "[[Wild Thing (The Troggs song)|Wild Thing]]" became a staple in countless American garage bands' repertoires.{{sfn|Laing|2015|p=22}}  By 1965, the influence of the British Invasion prompted folk musicians such as [[Bob Dylan]] and members of [[the Byrds]] to adopt the use of electric guitars and amplifiers, resulting in what became termed [[folk rock]].{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=14}}  The resulting success of Dylan, the Byrds, and other folk rock acts influenced the sound and approach of numerous garage bands.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=14}}

===Height of success and airplay===

In the wake of the British Invasion, garage rock experienced a boom in popularity.  With thousands of garage bands active in the US and Canada, hundreds produced regional hits during the period,{{sfnm|1a1=Bogdanov|1a2=Woodstra|1a3=Erlewine|1y=2002|1p=3|2a1=Szatmary|2y=2013|2p=134}} often receiving airplay on local [[AM radio]] stations.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=28}}  Several acts gained wider exposure just long enough to have one or occasionally more national hits in an era rife with "[[One-Hit Wonder|one-hit wonder]]s".{{sfnm|1a1=Markesich|1y=2012|1p=21|2a1=Simmons|2y=2015}} In 1965, [[the Beau Brummels]] broke into the national charts with "[[Laugh, Laugh]]", followed by "[[Just a Little (The Beau Brummels song)|Just a Little]]".{{sfn|Palao|1998|pp=54–55}}  According to Richie Unterberger, they were perhaps the first American group to pose a successful response to the British Invasion.<ref>{{cite web|last=Unterberger|first=Richie|title=The Beau Brummels|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-beau-brummels-mn0000135032/biography|access-date=June 9, 2017|archive-date=May 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160512155637/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-beau-brummels-mn0000135032/biography|url-status=live}}</ref> That year, [[Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs]]' "[[Wooly Bully]]" went to No.&nbsp;2, and they followed it up a year later with another No.&nbsp;2 hit, "Little Red Riding Hood".{{sfnm|1a1=Stax|1y=1998|1pp=77–78|2a1=Markesich|2y=2012|2p=21, 230}}  Also in 1965, [[the Castaways]] almost reached ''[[Billboard Hot 100|Billboard]]''{{'s}} top ten with "[[Liar, Liar (The Castaways song)|Liar, Liar]]", which was later included on the 1972 ''Nuggets'' compilation.{{sfnm|1a1=Stax|1y=1998|1p=37|2a1=Markesich|2y=2012|2p=21}}  Featuring a lead vocal by [[Rick Derringer]], "[[Hang On Sloopy]]" became a No. 1 hit for Indiana's [[the McCoys]],<ref name="McCoys (Unterberger)">{{cite web |last1=Unterberger |first1=Richie |title=The McCoys |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-mccoys-mn0000890799/biography |website=AllMusic |access-date=July 31, 2020 |archive-date=March 19, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170319101436/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-mccoys-mn0000890799/biography |url-status=live }}</ref> topping the ''Billboard'' charts in October 1965.<ref name="McCoys (Mastropolo)">{{cite web |last1=Mastropolo |first1=Frank |title=How the McCoys' Hit the Top of the Charts With 'Hang on Sloopy' |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/the-mccoys-hang-on-sloopy/ |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |access-date=July 31, 2020 |date=October 2, 2015 |archive-date=September 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200908034731/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/the-mccoys-hang-on-sloopy/ |url-status=live }}</ref> They were immediately signed to [[Bang Records]] and followed up with another hit in 1966, a cover of "[[Fever (Little Willie John song)|Fever]]", originally recorded by [[Little Willie John]].<ref name="McCoys (Unterberger)"/>

====Pacific Northwest====

In 1964 and 1965, the impact of the Beatles and the British Invasion shifted the musical landscape, presenting not only a challenge, but also a new impetus, as previously established acts in the Pacific Northwest adapted to the new climate, often reaching greater levels of commercial and artistic success, while scores of new bands formed.  After relocating to Portland, Paul Revere&nbsp;& the Raiders in 1963 became the first rock-and-roll act to be signed to [[Columbia Records]], but did not achieve their commercial breakthrough until 1965 with the song "Steppin Out", which was followed by string of chart-topping hits such as "[[Just Like Me (Paul Revere & the Raiders song)|Just Like Me]]" (originally recorded by [[the Wilde Knights]]) and "[[Kicks (song)|Kicks]]".{{sfnm|1a1=Hicks|1y=1999|1pp=35–36|2a1=Blecha|2y=2009|2pp=124–126, 141, 180–182}}

Although Britain did not develop a distinct garage rock genre in the same way as the United States, many British beat groups shared important characteristics with the American bands who often attempted to emulate them, and the music of certain UK acts has been mentioned in particular relation to garage.{{sfn|Bangs|2003|pp=56–57, 61, 64, 101}}{{sfn|Hicks|1999|p=36}}

Beat music emerged in Britain in the early 1960s, as musicians who originally came together to play rock and roll or [[skiffle]] assimilated American rhythm and blues influences. The genre provided the model for the format of many later rock groups.{{sfn|Longhurst|2007|p=98}}  The [[Liverpool]] area had a particularly high concentration of acts and venues,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/birth/|title=Birth of Mersey Beat 1|website=triumphpc.com|access-date=January 18, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729230455/http://www.triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/birth/|archive-date=July 29, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> and the Beatles emerged from this thriving music scene.{{sfn|Puterbaugh|1988}}  In London and elsewhere, certain groups developed a harder-driving, distinctively [[British blues]] style.{{sfn|Schwartz|2007|p=133}}  Nationally popular blues- and R&B- influenced beat groups included [[the Rolling Stones]] and [[the Yardbirds]] from London, [[the Animals]] from [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]], and [[Them (band)|Them]], from [[Belfast]], Northern Ireland, featuring [[Van Morrison]].

Coinciding with the "British Invasion" of the US, a musical cross-fertilization developed between the two continents.  In their 1964 transatlantic hits "[[You Really Got Me]]" and "[[All Day and All of the Night]]", [[the Kinks]] took the influence of the Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie" and applied greater volume and distortion, which in turn, influenced the approach of many American garage bands.{{sfnm|1a1=Hicks|1y=1999|1pp=17–18|2a1=Kitts|2y=2007|2p=41}}  With Van Morrison, Them recorded two songs widely covered by American garage bands: "[[Gloria (Them song)|Gloria]]", which became a big hit for Chicago's [[the Shadows of Knight]], and "I Can Only Give You Everything".{{sfn|Hicks|1999|p=34}}<ref>{{cite web|last=Unterberger|first=Richie|title=Them|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/them-mn0000925181/biography|access-date=July 10, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918190809/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/them-mn0000925181/biography|archive-date=September 18, 2013|website=AllMusic}}</ref> [[Keith Richards]]'s use of fuzz distortion in the Rolling Stones' 1965 hit, "[[(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction]]" affected the sound of countless American garage bands.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=15}}  Also influential were [[the Pretty Things]] and [[the Downliners Sect]], both of whom were known for a particularly raw approach to blues-influenced rock that has sometimes been compared to garage.<ref name="Pretty Things influence">{{cite web |last1=Lindblad |first1=Peter |title=The Pretty Things recall their wild past and explore their angry present |url=https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/the-pretty-things-recall-their-wild-past-and-explore-their-angry-present |website=Goldmine |access-date=April 10, 2019 |date=April 21, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Erlewine (Pretty Things)">{{cite web|last1=Erlewine|first1=Stephen Thomas|title=The Pretty Things|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-pretty-things-mn0000489676/biography|access-date=July 12, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150820201717/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-pretty-things-mn0000489676/biography|archive-date=August 20, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Unterberger (Downliners Sect)">{{cite web|last1=Unterberger|first1=Richie|title=The Downliners Sect|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-downliners-sect-mn0000117803/biography|access-date=July 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626064542/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-downliners-sect-mn0000117803/biography|archive-date=June 26, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

|description="[[Psychotic Reaction]]" by [[Count Five|the Count Five]] contains characteristics that came to typify much [[psychedelic rock|psychedelic]] and [[acid rock]], such as the use of fuzz and feedback, as opposed to the clean guitar sounds prevalent in early rock.{{sfn|Browne|Browne|2001|p=8}}}}
By the mid-1960s, numerous garage bands began to employ tone-altering devices such as [[fuzzbox#1960s: fuzz, distortion, and introduction of commercial devices|fuzzboxes]] on guitars often for the purpose of enhancing the music's sonic palate, adding an aggressive edge with loudly amplified instruments to create a barrage of "clanging" sounds, in many cases expressing anger, defiance, and sexual frustration.{{sfnm|1a1=Hicks|1y=1999|1pp=18–22|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2pp=7–8}}  The genre came into its peak of popularity at a time when a collective sense of discontent and alienation crept into the psyche of the youth in the United States and elsewhere—even in the largely conservative suburban communities which produced so many garage bands.{{sfnm|1a1=Berger|1a2=Coston|1y=2014|1pp=97–105|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2pp=7–8}}  Garage bands, though generally apolitical, nonetheless reflected the attitudes and tenor of the times.{{sfn|Berger|Coston|2014|p=101}}  Nightly news reports had a cumulative effect on the mass consciousness, including musicians.{{sfnm|1a1=Berger|1a2=Coston|1y=2014|1pp=97|2a1=Markesich|2y=2012|p=36}}  Detectable in much of the music from this era is a disparate array of raw sounds and emotions, coinciding with surrounding events, such as the [[assassinations]] of major political figures and the ongoing escalation of troops sent to [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]],{{sfnm|1a1=Berger|1a2=Coston|1y=2014|1pp=101|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2pp=7–8}} yet certain commentators have also noted an apparent bygone innocence as part of the style's appeal to later generations.{{sfnm|1a1=Shaw|1y=1998|1p=21|2a1=Palao|2y=1998|2p=27}}

In 1965, the influence of artists such as [[Bob Dylan]], who moved beyond political [[Protest song|protest]] by experimenting with abstract and surreal lyrical imagery{{sfn|Wilentz|2014}} and [[Electric Dylan controversy|switched to electric guitar]], became increasingly pervasive across the musical landscape, affecting a number of genres, including garage rock.{{sfnm|1a1=Shaw|1y=1998|1pp=18–19|2a1=Philo|2y=2015|2p=95}} The members of garage bands, like so many musicians of the 1960s, were part of a generation that was largely born into the paradigm and customs of an older time, but grew up confronting a new set of issues facing a more advanced and technological age.{{sfnm|1a1=Berger|1a2=Coston|1y=2014|1p=97|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2pp=7–8|3a1=Gilmore|3y=1990}}  Postwar prosperity brought the advantages of better education, as well as more spare time for recreation, which along with the new technology, made it possible for an increasing number of young people to play music.{{sfnm|1a1=Berger|1a2=Coston|1y=2014|1p=1|2a1=Kauppila|2y=2006|2p=10}}  With the advent of television, [[nuclear weapons]], [[civil rights]], the [[Cold War]], and [[space exploration]], the new generation was more global in its mindset and began to conceive of a higher order of human relations, attempting to reach for a set of [[Transcendence (philosophy)|transcendent]] ideals, often expressed through rock music.{{sfnm|1a1=Gilmore|1y=1990|2a1=Berger|2a2=Coston|2y=2014|2pp=1, 97}}  Though set to a backdrop of tragic events that proved increasingly disillusioning,{{sfn|Berger|Coston|2014|pp=97–105}} various forms of personal and musical experimentation held promise, at least for a time, in the minds of many.{{sfn|Gilmore|1990}}  While opening boundaries and testing the frontiers of what the new world had to offer, 1960s youth ultimately had to accept the limitations of the new reality, yet often did so while experiencing the ecstasy of a moment when the realm of the infinite seemed possible and within reach.{{sfnm|1a1=Gilmore|1y=1990|2a1=Sclafani|2y=2009|3a1=Kaye|3y=1972}}{{efn|Commenting on the 1960s youth generation, as well as garage bands, Lenny Kaye mentions in his liner notes to ''Nuggets'' (1972): "The social situation similarly set the pace, doing its part by opening once rigid-boundaries of individual musics — folk, jazz, more exotic foreign forms — as well as cracking open the door to a world in which the youth felt that they had too long suffered a pat on the head ad a kick in the ass.  Lastly you might take into account the players and audiences themselves, nurtured on a steady diet of rock for as long as they could remember, the former sure that a piece of plutonian pie could easily be theirs by as simple act of faith as picking up a guitar..."}}

Garage acts, while generally lacking the budgetary means to produce musical extravaganzas on the scale of the Beatles' ''[[Sgt.

===Mid-1970s: Emergence of the punk movement===
{{Main|Punk rock|Punk subculture}}
[[File:Ramones Toronto 1976.jpg|thumb|The [[Ramones]] (pictured in 1977), who were influenced by garage rock, spearheaded the mid-1970s punk movement in New York.]]

Identification of garage rock by certain critics in the early 1970s (and their use of the term "punk rock" to describe it), as well as the 1972 ''Nuggets'' compilation  exerted a marked degree of influence on the [[Punk rock|punk]] movement that emerged in the mid-to-late 1970s.{{sfnm|1a1=Smith|1y=2009|1pp=96–98|2a1=Gray|2y=2004|2pp=26–29|3a1=Robb|3y=2012|3pp=34, 66, 76, 106, 132–133, 187, 215}}  As a result of the popularity of ''Nuggets'' and critical attention paid to primitive-sounding rock of the past and present, a self-conscious musical aesthetic began to emerge around the term "punk"{{sfnm|1a1=Laing|1y=2015|1pp=22–23|2a1=Kent|2y=2006|2p=14}} that eventually manifested in the punk scenes of [[Punk rock#New York City|New York]], [[Punk rock#United Kingdom|London]], and elsewhere between 1975 and 1977, and in the process transformed into a new musical and social movement having its own separate [[Punk subculture|subculture]], identity, and values.{{sfnm|1a1=Laing|1y=2015|1pp=24, 50-53|2a1=Lister|2y=2017}}

The mid- to late-1970s saw the arrival of the acts now most commonly identified as punk rock.  Frequently mentioned as the first of these<ref name="Ramones (Ind.Lens)">{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/endofthecentury/legacy.html|title=The Ramones|website=Independent Lens|access-date=June 22, 2019|archive-date=May 6, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506053944/http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/endofthecentury/legacy.html|url-status=live}}</ref> were the [[Ramones]] from New York, some of whose members earlier played in 1960s garage bands.{{sfn|Aaron|2013|p=53}}  They were followed by the [[Sex Pistols]] in London, who struck a far more defiant pose and effectively heralded the arrival punk as a ''[[cause célèbre]]'' in the larger public mind.<ref name="Erlewine (Pistols)">{{cite web|first1=Stephen Thomas|last1=Erlewine|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/sex-pistols-mn0000418740/biography|title=Sex Pistols &#124; Biography|website=AllMusic|access-date=July 13, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161011080621/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/sex-pistols-mn0000418740/biography|archive-date=October 11, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>  Both bands spearheaded the popular punk movement from their respective locations.<ref name="rockhall1">{{cite web|url=https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/ramones|title=Ramones Biography &#124; The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum|access-date=July 13, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710095617/http://rockhall.com/inductees/ramones/|archive-date=July 10, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Erlewine (Pistols)"/>  Simultaneously, Australia developed its own punk scene,<ref name="Australian punk">{{cite web |last1=Cunningham |first1=Adrian |title=The History Of Australian Punk In 30 Tracks |url=https://junkee.com/longform/australian-punk-history-30-tracks |website=Junkee |access-date=April 8, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730021338/http://junkee.com/longform/australian-punk-history-30-tracks |archive-date=July 30, 2018 |url-status=live  }}</ref>  which derived some of its inspiration from the 1960s Australian garage/beat movement.<ref name="Australian punk"/>  One of its leading bands [[The Saints (Australian band)|the Saints]], from Brisbane, included a rendition of [[The Missing Links (band)|the Missing Links]]' 1965 song "Wild About You" on their 1977 debut album.<ref name="Australian punk"/>

Despite the influence of garage rock and proto-punk on the originating musicians of these scenes,{{sfnm|1a1=Gray|1y=2004|1pp=26–29|2a1=Robb|2y=2012|2pp=34, 66, 76, 106, 132–133, 187, 215|3a1=Aaron|3y=2013|3p=53}} in the later half of the 1970s punk rock emerged as a new phenomenon, distinct from its prior associations,{{sfn|Laing|2015|pp=24, 50-53}} and the garage band era of the 1960s came to be viewed as a distant forerunner.{{sfn|Gray|2004|pp=26–29}}{{sfn|Shaw|1998|p=21}}

==Revivalist and hybrid movements{{anchor|Garage rock revival}}<!--'Garage rock revival' redirects here-->==
Garage rock has experienced various revivals in the ensuing years and continues to influence numerous modern acts who prefer a "back to basics" and "do it yourself" musical approach.{{sfnm|1a1=Stiernberg|1y=2014|2a1=Heller|2y=2015}}

===1970s–1980s: Retro revival acts===
The earliest group to attempt to revive the sound of 1960s garage was [[the Droogs]], from Los Angeles, who formed in 1972 and pre-dated many of the revival acts of the 1980s.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=40}}  In the early 1980s, revival scenes linked to the [[underground music]] movements of the period sprang up in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and elsewhere, with acts such as [[the Chesterfield Kings]], [[the Fuzztones]], [[the Pandoras]], and [[Lyres (band)|Lyres]] earnestly attempting to replicate the sound and look of the 1960s garage bands.{{sfn|DeRogatis|2007|p=35}}  This trend fed in into the [[alternative rock]] movement and future [[grunge]] explosion, which embraced influences by 1960s garage bands such as the Sonics and the Wailers.{{sfnm|1a1=Szatmary|1y=2013|1p=134|2a1=Blecha|2y=2009|2pp=184–196|3a1=Mazzarone|3y=2013}}

====Garage punk====
{{See also|Garage punk (fusion genre)}}
Out of the garage revival, a more aggressive form of garage rock known as [[Garage punk (fusion genre)|garage punk]] emerged in the late 1980s.  It differed from the "retro" revival in that its acts did not attempt to replicate the exact look and sound of 1960s groups, and their approach tended to be louder, often infusing garage rock with elements of Stooges-era proto-punk, 1970s [[punk rock]], and other influences, creating a new hybrid.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=43}}<ref name="AllMusic (Garage Punk)">{{cite web|title=Garage Punk|url=http://www.allmusic.com/style/garage-punk-ma0000002408|website=AllMusic|access-date=July 23, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160902012740/http://www.allmusic.com/style/garage-punk-ma0000002408|archive-date=September 2, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>  Several notable garage punk bands were [[the Gories]], [[thee Mighty Caesars]], [[the Mummies]] and [[thee Headcoats]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/thee-mighty-caesars-mn0000490541/biography|title=Thee Mighty Caesars&nbsp;– biography|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180810044136/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/thee-mighty-caesars-mn0000490541/biography|archive-date=August 10, 2018|website=AllMusic|access-date=February 1, 2014}}</ref>  Originally associated with the 1960s garage revival of the early 1980s, the Pandoras' sound became increasingly harder as decade progressed.<ref name="Deming (Pandoras)">{{cite web |last1=Deming |first1=Mark |title=The Pandoras |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-pandoras-mn0000481195/biography |website=AllMusic |access-date=December 23, 2020 |archive-date=June 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629155705/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-pandoras-mn0000481195/biography |url-status=live }}</ref>  Out of Japan came [[Guitar Wolf]] from Nagasaki<ref name="Phares (Guitar Wolf)">{{cite web|first1=Heather|last1=Phares|title=Guitar Wolf|website=AllMusic|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/guitar-wolf-mn0000549571/biography|access-date=June 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180106064019/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/guitar-wolf-mn0000549571/biography|archive-date=January 6, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[the 5.6.7.8's]] from Tokyo.{{sfn|Rowthorn|2003|p=37}} Garage punk and revival acts persisted into the 1990s and the new millennium,{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=43}} with [[independent record labels]] releasing records by bands playing fast-paced, [[lo-fi music]].{{sfn|Rutter|2006}}  Some of the more prolific independent labels include [[Estrus Records|Estrus]],{{sfn|Blecha|2007|p=121}} [[Get Hip Records|Get Hip]],{{sfn|Adams|2002|p=469}} [[Bomp!
