Welcome to episode 3 featuring garage revival bands. Lots of bands start in garages, but these bands all share a certain sound that can only be called sixties punk. They draw their influences from the sixties sounds of the likes of The Standells, The Seeds, The Sonics, The Count 5, Velvet Underground and The Kingsmen. But they also were influenced by the original punk rock scene of the late seventies such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols and New York Dolls. The garage rock bands featured in this episode are just the tip of the iceberg.

The wikipedia probably has the definitive garage rock summary of the genre and an exhaustive list of links to garage bands and related info.

Welcome to episode #5 dedicated to power pop. Power pop has always had a starring role in the mod scene, so this week I've put together a list of various different power pop songs that embody the sound, from the bands that influenced so many mods -- to rockers of all other stripes.

Take a gander at this interesting video from Malaysian power pop group, Couple.

This week's episode features current *mod* bands. After playing a lot of old mod bands the past few episodes, I thought it would be cool to see what it is they inspired in today's mods. So, here are a few current mod tracks.

There are a lot of mod styled bands playing these days, so this is just a little taste of what's out there if you look around. Enjoy.

Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World. Mod friendly music mixes since 2006.

I started this modcast in part because it seemed to me that a lot of great mod bands from the original Southern California scene of the 80s never got their due. My first few shows were dedicated to sharing the music of some those bands and then it just sort of grew from there. 

Remember back in 2006 the internet was still in its infancy really. Napster had opened up digital music in the 90s, but it still wasn't easy to find music by bands like these online. You couldn't just type their name in google and have a complete playlist wash over you.  So, I thought I'd share what I had. I had digitized a lot of my mod catalog a few years before that and so I had the mp3s and could share them. And now here we are 500 shows later.  

I gotta tell you after doing this show for 15 years, this modcast is really the first love letter to myself. I've collected some of my favorite artists and a few of my favorite songs, fitting them all into a strange little theme that Mrs. Suave came up with.  I struggled to figure out a good way to hang 500 shows together for this one particular modcast.  I just couldn't come up with a good theme. And then she dropped this little gem on me.  Let's see if you can figure it out. If you do, let me know.
