You’ve heard the hits, but have you heard them through the ears of 1960s garage bands from Italy, Spain, Greece, New Zealand, Spain and Uruguay?

We’ve scoured the international underground to bring you the wildest, raunchiest, and most obscure cover versions of 60s classics. We’re talking about local bands from every corner of the globe taking familiar melodies and putting them through the "garage filter"—resulting in something entirely new, undeniably raw, and often unrecognizable.

Grab your passport and tune in to the chaos!

We are worshiping at the altar of the most glorious sound in rock and roll history: The Fuzz.

If you like your 60s rock with a side of static and a heavy dose of teenage rebellion, grab your headphones—this one is going to be loud.

💊 L.S.D. – Mystery of the Mystical Invasion

🪐 Big Boy Pete Miller – My Love Is Like a Spaceship

🌙 The Graded Grains – Lucifer Sam

🏺 Apaslar – Gilgamis

...and plenty more deep cuts to melt your speakers.

Ankharr, Kuff (who claimed to be 347 years old), Zoarg and GMX. Oh, and a fifth member but he was invisible!🛸 It's a crazy tale of an ultra obscure 🇦🇺 Australian garage band, and one that's inspired a series of way cool covers by this week's guest Ethan Kernaghan of the En Kernaghan Band.

A whirlwind tour of the 1960s underground. We cover the dark, rebellious beat of the GDR, the psychedelic-tinged rock of Turkey, and the melodic, upbeat garage-pop of the French and Italian Riviera. And a dedicated "GS" block—four tracks of pure, unadulterated Japanese garage gold.

Time's against me this week - Strongly and Bigly! So I have exhumed one of my fave 'Guest Selector' episodes. It's what happens when a Belgian crate-digger curates the playlist. You get a masterclass in the obscure. Peter Chloupek joins us to spin a selection of ultra-rare garage rock that survived the decades in dusty European basements. It’s a sonic journey from the US midwest to the heart of Europe, featuring bands that recorded one single and vanished into the fog.

We’re bridging the Pacific with a high-octane set of Peruvian "savage" garage and Japanese GS. Featuring the primitive screams of Los Saicos (the kings of Lima) and the sharp-suited, organ-heavy grooves of The Spiders, and a heavy long-form garage classic cover from The Golden Cups. It’s a masterclass in how the 1966 garage fever translated across different cultures.

It’s a curated trip through the 1960s underground, featuring tracks that were too trippy for the radio and too obscure for the history books. We’ve unearthed some serious "how-is-this-not-famous" gems.

Whether you're a seasoned crate-digger or just looking to expand your horizons, this episode is a one-way ticket to the distorted heart of 1967.

We kick things off with a leftover from last week's Louie Louie Special - that riff so familiar it’s practically in our DNA. Once the remnants of "Louie" dust settles, we dive into the American basement scene of 1965–1966, explore some proto-psych, and a selection of global garage!
