So the previous post made reference to "garage rock" sensibilities. No band did garage punk better than Houston's The Jewws. They were a short-lived project of the late 90s and only released one Lp: L'Explosion du son de Maintenant (2002 Demolition Derby/Nitro! Records). Yes, their name falls short of achieving the clever payoff obviously intended by its founding members, but their music consistently delivers above and beyond. The band could have gone places; well worth checking out. Here's a track from the sole full length:
Recently, I came across Junior Varsity's 45, Go to the Ice Cream Social. 2 of the members of the above mentioned group were previously in this 50s/6os style garage rock band. They too were based in Houston, Tx. It's some pretty stripped-down, raw garage pop; it's not for everyone. Check it out:
One member of the Jewws & Junior Varsity, Rebecca, now plays in the garage rock group, The Hex Dispensers. If you like the Jewws, check them out as well.
