 garage rock
Garage rock (performed by garage bands, not to be confused with UK Garage dance music) was a simple, raw form of rock and roll that emerged in the mid-1960s, largely in the United States.
The term "garage rock" comes from the perception that many such performers were young and amateurish, and often rehearsed in a family garage (this stereotype also evokes a suburban, middle-class setting).
Garage rock and garage punk coexisted throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s with many independent record labels releasing thousands of records by bands playing various styles of primitive rock and roll all around the world.

Rock is a form of popular music from the mid 20th century which typically features a vocal melody (often with vocal harmony) that is supported by accompaniment of electric guitars, a bass guitar, and drums, often with a strong back beat.
The culmination of rock and roll as a socially-unifying force was seen in the rock festivals of the late '60s, the most famous of which was Woodstock which began as a three-day arts and music festival and turned into a "happening", as hundreds of thousands of youthful fans converged on the site.
If punk rock was a social and musical phenomenon, it garnered little in the way of record sales (small specialty labels such as Stiff Records had released much of the punk music to date) or American radio airplay, as the radio scene continued to be dominated by mainstream formats such as disco and album-oriented rock.

 The Optic Nerve - Free Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Although born from the '80s New York garage scene, the Optic Nerve had nothing whatsoever in common with the movement other than their single-minded idealism to act as if the '80s and the synthesized music that surrounded them was not happening.
Rather than using the blaring fuzz tones and screaming the "put down" anthems of the garage rock revival, they took the jangling motifs of the Byrds, the Beatles, and a hint of the mid-'60s protest singers to create a sound that, if spawned in 1965, would have brought them success.
Every song deserved to be released at the time of recording, but in an era when garage revival and paisley pop were so popular, the Optic Nerve's country-tinged folk-rock was out of sync with both movements and caused little attention.

 indieville: review: various artists - rock reborn
A promotional co-release between clothing label Diesel and popular online indie distro Insound, Rock Reborn is a compilation of songs from the new group of indie rockers and garage revivalists that have recently hijacked the modern rock scene.
Predictably, the now-overdone garage rock revival material is less enjoyable than the other parts of the disc.
All in all, Rock Reborn is a fun but cruelly merciless sample of some of the most energetic and explosive indie rock around today.

 Garage Rock Revival - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
Punk's existence began in 1976 when the Ramones emerged from CBGB's with a ramshackle image, fast rhythms, and a complete lack of musical prowess--a refreshing change from the often-overproduced (and overwrought) rock sounds so prevalent during the '70s.
The Ramones’ trip to England is said to have ignited the Sex Pistols into action; the Pistols took a more aggressive and nihilistic approach and spawned an equally fervent scene.
Since then, there's been no shortage of disaffected and creative youths, and therefore the popularity of alternative, punk, new wave, and so-called 'indie rock' hasn’t waned a bit.

As charter members of the Best Kept Secrets In Rock Club, they've been together in Los Angeles since 1972, releasing a series of stunning neo-garage 45s on their own label long before anyone thought of either pillaging the '60s or rolling their own indie singles.
Singer Ric Albin wields a classic rock snarl, and his lyrical twists repay close attention, but Atomic Garage's star attraction is guitarist Roger Clay.
This has far more authenticity as a Garage/Psych/Rock and Roll release than 96% of the Estrus age stuff out there, as this group rather than sounding like a new band trying to be retro, actually sounds like a great 60's/70's band doing their best to make a good album.

 Tributes to Greg Shaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A few years later, he started up what was to become the extremely influential network of Bomp (or, as we prefer, Bomp!): a magazine, a record store, and a record label, all of which helped sow the seeds of punk and new wave.
Although Greg was conversant in rockabilly, blues, New Orleans R&B, doo-wop, early-'60s pop and more, he was one of the very first to create the legend of '60s garage rock, directly leading to the Nuggets/Pebbles anthology explosion and indirectly to the punk/new wave revolution and the '80s-till-whenever garage-rock revival.
It wasn't just that he started a rock 'zine in the mid-60's when such an audacious idea was totally laughable and heroic.

The songs on this album all sound pretty similar, despite some strong recording-style variations (meaning some tunes are much louder than others, and have different recording 'textures'), but vary in melodic effectiveness.
I like the fact that Conner seems to employ a sound much more faithful to garage rock than some of the other recent revivalists.
The White Cube is a terrific album for garage rock revival fanatics, and is very successful in its accessibility.
