Garage punk is a rock music fusion of garage rock and punk rock. It is fast-paced, lo-fi music characterised by angular, choppy guitar sounds — usually played by bands who are on independent record labels or who are unsigned.[2] Common lyrical themes range from cars, girls, school, toilet humor, sex, drugs, partying and rock and roll to liberation from social norms. Garage Punk bands usually distance themselves from hardcore and political punk bands, though an exception is The (International) Noise Conspiracy, who could also be considered Anarcho-punk.[3]
History
The genre originated from the 1970s and 1980s punk bands, as well as the 1960s American garage rock bands who (influenced by the sound and attitude of British rhythm and blues groups) created a cruder, more urgent sound. While originating from punk and garage rock, it sometimes incorpotates elements of 1960's soul, beat groups, surf music, power pop, hardcore punk and psychedelia.[4][3] Many garage punk musicians have been white, working class, suburban teenagers.[1][5]
A collection representing the genre include Garage Punk Unknowns.[4]
