Pushin' Too Hard - American Garage Punk 1964-1967 3CD boxed set
Pushin’ Too Hard is a celebration of 1960s garage punk with 94-tracks of raw, exciting music with tons of attitude. Fuzz guitars, swirling organs, wailing harmonicas, thumping drums and tough vocals are plentiful. In the mid 1960s, teenage rock ‘n’ roll groups proliferated throughout the USA. Most towns and cities had local scenes revolving around dance parties, clubs and ‘battle of the bands’ contests and many of the bands here were regional royalty but never broke nationally. Key bands featured here include The Seeds, The Sonics, The Standells, The Shadows Of Knight, The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, The Electric Prunes and ? & The Mysterians. There are national US Billboard Hot 100 hits from Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs, The Strangeloves, The Castaways, The Beau Brummels, The McCoys, The Bobby Fuller Four, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Barbarians, The Seeds and others. Rarities from The Blue Beats, The Dirty Wurds, The Apparitions, The Bedlam Four and The Jackals are released here on CD for the first time while many other tracks have never previously been issued in the UK.
