Garage Rock Playlist #3 Feb. '08

Hi Ludwig, Vox Continental, Tambourine, Harmonica and fuzz lovers !

Don't know how I found time to prepare this third playlist of excellent garage rock ! Indeed, lots of bands played in Paris recently (Cococoma, The Carpet Sellers, Frandol & The Kitchenmen...) or are coming again in a couple of days (The Staggers...) ! Well this playlist gathers new bands from all over the world (mostly from the US, UK and France but also from Canada, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Greece, Netherlands and Germany) !

I invite you to take a break on Myspace in order to discover all these lovely tracks we can be proud of ! Feel free to leave any comment below that could be helpful to learn more about Garage Rock emerging bands !

Have fun !

Jan. 25th: first feedback by le HibOO (in french)

"The Norvins (web)
Ça commence avec The Norvins, un quintet basse-batterie-chant-guitare-orgue, qui pendant 3/4 d’heure va nous offrir du garage de haut niveau, en enchaînant les morceaux quasiment sans interruption (seule une corde cassée ralentira un peu le rythme), avec un chant bien placé, une énergie revigorante, une rythmique efficace, un guitariste qui n’abuse pas de son statut potentiel de guitar-hero, et un orgue qui ne porte pas sur les nerfs… c’est à noter ! Si on cherche des références, on va faire dans le français, pas nécessairement dans la cible d’ailleurs, puisqu’on pense très fort à un mix entre Roadrunners et KingSize, et il s’en faudrait de peu pour qu’on ose affirmer que c’est ce soir la première vraie bonne découverte de 2008 !"

Thanks Le HibOO !
