List of garage rock bands

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

The following is a list of notable garage rock bands. It is by no means exhaustive, particularly regarding the 60s garage bands whose ranks were populous to an extent not measurable, but which vastly exceeds the contents presented here. This list represents bands who have made surviving recordings and have current Wikipedia articles devoted their biographies. It is not exclusive to collective bands, but also includes solo acts who have created music in this style (usually backed by accompanying musicians). It is the intention of this list to inform the reader about the various acts which are relevant to anyone interested in learning about this style of music.

The list is not exclusive to acts from North America. Though 1960s garage rock is most often associated with the United States and Canada, its attributes were present in other counties, whether the acts who constituted those national scenes are specifically referred to as "garage rock," as is sometimes the case, or not, but whose music nonetheless shares enough of the fundamental stylistic characteristics with North American garage music to warrant inclusion here (see fully sourced explanation in the Garage and its counterparts worldwide section of the garage rock article).[1][2][3] Though garage rock bands generally share fundamental musical characteristics, the genre is nonetheless diverse enough to encompass a wide range of stylistic variations and influences, which include elements of surf rock, blues, R&B, folk rock, and/or psychedelic rock, so bands of differing stylistic varieties are represented here, provided that their styles fall within the framework of what sources consider to be garage rock or one of its close counterparts such as freakbeat and other forms of protopunk from the 1960s. Later garage rock-influenced acts are included in separate sections below covering later periods. Each act's name is listed in a blue link (along with city, state, province, and/or nation in parenthesis).

Later period protopunk and garage-influenced bands (1967 to 1979)

The bands listed were often considered garage rock, but also straddled the line with other genres such as punk, psychedelia, blues rock, power pop, hard rock, bubblegum, glam, prog rock, protopunk, art rock or even heavy metal. Many similar British bands of this era (1965-1979) were retrospectively called "Freakbeat" and pub rock.

1980-present garage rock revival bands

Some of these bands overlap with punk, the mod revival, psychobilly, new wave, the Paisley Underground, indie rock, indie pop, neo-psychedelia, power pop, punk blues, noise rock/noisepop, garage punk, Britpop, grunge, hard rock and even riot grrl, queercore or traditional heavy metal.
