garage punk

Garage punk is a subgenre of rock music. However, as with many terms applied to popular culture, the precise meaning can be hard to define. Garage punk is often used to refer to garage bands that are on small independent record labels or that aren't on labels at all (unsigned) and that happen to play some variety of Punk. In that sense, garage punk (and likewise, garage rock) can be seen as a descendent of the Punk and New Wave movements of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as a counter-culture movement opposed to mainstream corporate rock.

In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, a new breed of revivalist Punk began to fester in the indie rock underground that became known as “garage punk.” Garage punk is obviously closely related to garage rock revival, although most of these modern garage punk bands took their influences from some of the more hard-edged proto punk bands of the garage rock genre, such as The Sonics, The Monks, The Stooges and MC5 through the early 1970s) as well as raw, simplistic "Killed By Death"-era proto punk and early New Wave, rather than by the British Invasion bands and their imitators. Some of the first garage punk bands to appear on the scene included The Gories, The Devil Dogs, Supercharger, The Mummies, The Supersuckers, The Rip Offs, The Makers, Teengenerate, The Oblivians, and Poison 13. Attitude and primitive, lo-fi, budget rock aesthetics were far more important to the development of garage punk than catchy melodies and fancy ’60s-style clothes and vintage musical equipment, and the attitude was reflected in the sound of the music: dirty, grimy, sleazy, sexy, menacing, and just flat-out ugly. The garage punk movement is not as interested in copying the sounds and looks of the ’60s so much as just trying to bash out some unpretentious, wild and wooly three-chord punk/rock’n’roll. Some of these bands (like The Mummies, Phantom Surfers, Man or Astro-Man?, and The Bomboras) also experimented with instrumental surf rock.

The Oblivians are a trashy garage punk band.

uk garage

UK Garage is a form of electronic dance music which originated in clubs at Vauxhall, south London around 1994-1996, and rapidly spread around the capital, but which actually has its roots in the original Garage sound which began in New York in the 1980s.

Originally referred to as "House & Garage" or "the Sunday Scene" (because it was difficult for promoters to find venues for the music on other weekend days at the time), the speeded-up Garage sound was eventually given the name "Speed Garage" by the media.

The original UKG sound had a four to the floor beat; however from 1997 onwards, the breakbeat-influenced "2-Step" sound became increasingly popular. Reggae, drum 'n' bass and hip-hop sounds, as well as R&B vocal samples, increased in influence in uk garage around this time.

The main difference between UK and US Garage, other than being faster, was the use of heavy sub-bass which had more in common with drum 'n' bass or reggae than traditional house or garage.

In the early years, records mainly featured vocal versions using proper singers (with additional instrumental/dub mixes), but from 1998 onwards, the use of MCs started to gain prominence, having originally been used mainly at the rave, and on pirate radio stations which were of great importance to the music's development.

At the start of the new millennium, east London's UK Garage offshoot - grime - grew out of the increasingly MC-driven garage style, whereas south London's dubstep scene tended towards more minimal, dubby, instrumental tracks but with heavier bass.

The "House & Garage" days: Carl Bias & BIP - I'm Up In Heaven (1994)

Early "classic 4x4 UK Garage" sounds: Underground Solution - You're No Good (1997)

Early 2-Step UKG: Ramsey & Fen - Love Bug (1998)

Early UKG with MCs: Da Click - Good Rhymes (1998)

Dark pre-grime Garage: So Solid Crew - Dilema (Instrumental) (2000)
