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!

Some bands got the chords right; some bands... didn't. This week, we celebrate the beautiful chaos of a bedrock garage track – and explore covers from the UK, Colombia and France. It’s a celebration of the misunderstood, the re-imagined, and the flat-out wild versions of the world’s favorite garage track! It’s a border-crossing fuzz-fest you won’t want to miss.

"Mom, it’s not a phase—it’s a fuzz pedal!" 🎸👟

This week on the Retrospect 60s Garage Punk Show, we’re headed back to the loudest high school basement you’ve never heard of. Forget the polished harmonies of the charts; we’re spinning the raw, unhinged sounds of 1960s teen bands.

We’re talking about 12, 13 and 14-year-olds who spent their lunch money on distortion pedals and their evenings screaming themselves hoarse.

If you like your rock and roll messy, loud, and slightly out of tune, this is the deep dive for you. It’s the sound of suburban rebellion before the "Summer of Love" made everything pretty.

"What, Me Worry?" This week on the Retrospect 60s Garage Punk Show, we’re trippin’ through the archives with a double-header of high-octane weirdness.

First, we’re tracing the chemical trails of The Pretty Things’ legendary anthem "LSD." We’ve unearthed a stack of the rarest, fuzziest, and most obscure covers of this track ever recorded.

But wait—don’t lose your mind just yet! We’re also diving into the satirical world of MAD Magazine. We’ve tracked down a handful of 60s cuts loosely inspired by the "Usual Gang of Idiots." It’s a mix of garage grit and counter-culture comedy that you won't hear anywhere else.

We’re spinning mind-bending tracks from the United States, Italy, Finland, Argentina, Mexico, and New Zealand. These aren't just songs; they are sonic postcards from a time when the world was expanding, the guitars were loud, and the rules were being rewritten in every language. Turn on, tune in.

If you thought "Garage Rock" was just a bunch of kids in a Detroit suburb, think again. This week, we’re proving that the 1960s "teenage rebellion" was a worldwide phenomenon. The episode takes a somber and necessary turn as we focus on 🇮🇷 Iran. We’re spinning two tracks from the pre-revolutionary Iranian scene. But we’ve also got deep cuts from Central and South America, unexpected rockers from Belgium and Scandinavia, and some truly mind-bending sounds from Thailand, Cambodia, and Hong Kong. Global Garage - it's our Raison d'être, our Savoir-faire, our Il pezzo forte even!

Dust off your fuzz pedals and adjust your tracking—we’re diving into the distorted, vibrating heart of the 1960s underground. In an era where "shaggy" hair was a political statement, a surprising number of bands landed on the exact same name. We’ve managed to track down tracks from five distinct (and often confused) outfits. Warning: This episode contains high levels of feedback and extreme levels of "shag."

Another hour of way cool 60s garagey goodness from Japan, Mexico, Turkey, Madagascar - and a whole lot more! LIKE/FOLLOW/RATE/REVIEW if you would be so kind 🤟
