Garage Rock Protest Songs!

from In The Past: Garage Rock Podcast · host Weldon Hunter & Erik Komarnicki

No one's gonna protest about this week's songs! Three of the greatest garage tunes PERIOD - with some astute social commentary as well?! The first missile we hurl is  "Social End Product" by New Zealand refuseniks The Bluestars (1:59) A proto-punk anthem with a pounding rhythm, dive-bombing bass, extra-enunciated vocals, and a FUZZ riff for the ages. The second dissentful ditty comes from Bermuda boys The Savages, who riotously remind us "The World Ain't Round, It's Square"  (51:46). Clangy and doomy, with a chorus that kills the uncool. Who needs Barry McGuire? The final band on the barricades are Motor City's Unrelated Segments, who ask YOU "Where You Gonna Go?" (1:34:22) Weird sounds on the assembly line make this a vehicle that's unsafe at any speed! A bizarre, Bug Music bridge and harmonies that Crosby, Stills and Nash mighta stole. 3 plays of rage!!
