Show O66: Return To The Garage – Playlist and Archived Stream

Listenup066a

By popular demand, we return to the garage, dingy basements, rental storage areas, dilapidated warehouses, seedy clubs and surface with the raucous sounds they call Garage Rock.

It will be snotty and sweet, stoo-pid and clever, new and old (but always timeless). Action shakin’ tunes! Dial up the distortion and fuel up on the fuzz.
