Barrence Whitfield: A Loose, Garage Freak Out from the '80s
Garage appropriations haven’t usually caused too many fans of the genre to take issue with old tyme hits being repurposed for new use – and usually related in drastically different musical tones than the originals. After considering the West Coast garage explosion that could be figured to have peeked by the mid ‘80s, it’s then pretty easy to undersatnd the Gories as the bridge from that decade to all of the Budget Rock stuff that cropped up during the ‘90s. In noting all of those disparate garage flouting moments, it should become rather obvious that while a great many of those bands simply wouldn’t exist without the likes of the Sonics or all the Nuggets’ bands, no one really played the same kind of music.
