Alright.. So.. I noticed that it seems like that a few bands seem to be thrown into a category of this, like the Strokes, Vines, and the Hives I think, too. Jet maybe?

 

Any other good ones?

man, i dunno. :/

 

but i just had to post here since you posted on my lame thread :cool:

Do you agree about that the Strokes are kinda in that category though, dude?

kiiiiiiiinnnndaaa.

I think they're more like, mainstream rock now? Since more and more people are listening to em?

But they kind of fit the garage rock style.

I wouldn't say mainstream..

definetely mainstream :rolleyes:

they're called Garage because of their Sound. like their recordings..not too produced or perfectly mixed, more of a 'raw' live sound. The Strokes and The White Stripes etc are completely Garage bands.

The White Stripes are more of a garbage band

Vines, and the Hives I think, too. Jet maybe?

 

 

I wouldn't call any of these bands "garage rock". The production is just way too polished.

 

The Strokes are about as good an example as you can get of a garage rock band. They tend to record their songs live in the studio with just one take, without any overdubs (except maybe the vocals). That's just about as raw a sound as you're going to get

 

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are another garage band which instantly springs to mind.

The White Stripes are more of a garbage band

 

teehee

 

i dont think they're garbage but i DO think they're very over-rated

Oh...

I guess Jet...Yes.

And The Vines... too

..yes

I think the Strokes were mainstream pretty much as soon as their first record came out. :lol:

 

Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. :P

they're definitely mainstream, but they're pretty good methinks :cool:
