'50s rockers trying to sound hip - probably why they're not mentioned in TBM

I agree with the ‘50s rockers tag, but the Mondays I believe qualities for a ranking.

Not a fan of any of them. The Mondays is more bubblegum than garage.

Not new to me but for somebody else here perhaps.
This is 67 psych mayhem in '75. I believe this acetate was cleaned up by Tim W.
This group - all black - would later cut some incredible 77 punk.

10 years too early, but somewhat reminiscent of Bad Brains - a band that looked for all the world like reggae, but were pure punk.

Noticed that neither of these by pre-The Heirs group The Critters were rated (though mentioned) in TBM so I've uploaded them. Moody tunes that I'm sure would score very low. Copyrighted in August and September 1965. "You'd Better Slow Down" was later re-recorded on Panorama by The Heirs in a slower version.

From one of those local TV shows you so often read about. Apologies of it's been posted before. This track has just been issued on a 45.

It’s from the Ted Mack Amateur Hour. That show had several great garage groups on it, including the Hedds, Knightwalkers, Odds and Ends, and the Go-Nuts.

The Critters - You Better Slow Down is rated 4.2 in the online version of TBM. The record is an NWI custom pressing from the 1st half of 1966.

Quite a generous rating!

I don’t recall what I rated it, but listening to it now I agree. 3 tops.

3:48 - "Nah, we stunk pretty bad on that one.."

I disagree too!

What is the name of the band starring the guitarist/singer with Buddy Holly-like glasses?
Is the song they play at 3:56 a cover?

The song is “Cheryl’s Going Home’ by John Otway or Bob Lind depending on the source.

Thanks! I found the band is The Hairy Things (the singer is called Steve). They're doing a boss version here!!

Uncomped it seems. Decent stuff...
