Why You Smile, a garage/psych ballad by obscure 60s band The Answer.

A fusion of soul and garage rock, the U.S. band The WildWeeds had radio airplay and a number 1 song at the regional level in their native Connecticut, but their 1967 single No Good To Cry only had minimal success on the national charts [#88 U.S.]. Lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter Al Anderson went on to join NRBQ.

One of them, The Morlocks, are actually from the 80s. I initially thought they were from the 60s, but after researching their origin was surprised to learn that they began performing together in late August 1984. They come under the heading of "garage revival". They remain active as a band.

Formed in 1965 in Adelaide, Australia, The Masters Apprentices recorded their first single, Undecided, in 1966. The band was originally named The Mustangs [not to be confused with the Riverside, California band or the numerous others bearing that oft-used band name], which formed in 1964. Rhythm guitarist Mick Bower came up with the name The Masters Apprentices because "we are apprentices to the masters of the blues—Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James and Robert Johnson".

Its all great and nice to listen to Garage Rock music I never heard of before.

The Monks were a garage rock band, formed by American Gls, who were based in Germany in the mid-to-late 1960s. They released one album, Black Monk Time.

The Australian band The Atlantics started out in the early 60s as a surf rock band with such tracks as Shark Attack from 1963





but with the addition of vocalist Johnny Rebb in 1965, they traded their beach sand for garage walls with such songs as the 1967 single Come On, with a clip from the ABC-TV show Be Our Guest.

Australia's The Allusions with their cover of Rick Nelson's Gypsy Woman from 1966 [#12 regional in Sydney area].





Aussie punk band The Saints were inspired by the Gypsy Woman cover done by The Allusions to record their own version in 1981.

The Litter from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, with their 1967 song Codine from their debut album Distortions.

Formed in 1958 as The Nitecaps, the Tacoma, Washington, USA band The Wailers [aka The Fabulous Wailers] are generally thought to have been America's first garage rock band, with their 1959 instrumental Tall Cool One [#36 U.S. Billboard Hot 100; #24 R&B chart].

Depends how you define garage rock.

This is how Wikipedia defines it.

Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the 1970s, some critics referred to the style as punk rock, the first form of music to bear this description; although it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk, the style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock.


To me garage rock is a high energy North American rock'n'roll that took over from r'n'b and was generally influenced by British Invasion groups such as The Stones, The Pretty Things, The Kinks, The Yardbirds. However there were some groups who predated the mass garage rock movement in 65/66, namely The Sonics, The Wailers etc.

As the VU were sponsored initially by Andy Warhol and rehearsed in Warhol's art studio The Factory, perhaps we could call it Factory-rock.

Most garage rock bands were just suburban kids getting together and setting up at home wherever they could find a space--the living room, basement, or garage--and also tended not to have a classically trained avant garde viola player in the band.
