Garage Rock

Garage Rock is a raw and energetic subgenre of early rock that emerged in the mid-1960s, characterized by its gritty sound, simple chord structures, and DIY ethos. Often performed by amateur bands in suburban garages, it blends bluesy riffs with an unpolished, rebellious spirit that laid the groundwork for punk rock. Notable for its infectious energy, Garage Rock captures the youthful angst and spontaneity of its era, with bands like The Kingsmen and The Sonics leading the charge.
