New Garage Explosion!! In Love with These Times - Part One

Like This? You Should Subscribe Here Now: bit.ly/VErZkw
We teamed up with Scion to produce "New Garage Explosion!! In Love with These Times," a four-part celebration of lo-fi aesthetics and high-pitch partying. In Part One, we try to define "garage" and explore the origins of the genre.
ABOUT THE FILM
After a brief nod to garage's humble beginnings amongst American youth in Detroit during the 1960s and its contribution and influence on '80s punk, New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times focuses on the scintillating present. As it pans trans-nationally, the camera profiles artists like the late Jay Reatard, Black Lips, The Dirtbombs, Thee Oh Sees, Smith Westerns, Vivian Girls and many more in an attempt to understand not only the exponential ascent of garage rock's popularity but the reason these people feel so passionately about it. A wide-eyed glimpse into a musical movement, the film is as much about the music as it is about the people contributing to the distinct scenes of the San Francisco, Oakland, Detroit, New York, Memphis, Atlanta, and Portland garage communities.


VBS directors Joseph Patel and Aaron Brown worked with producer/journalist Mike McGonigal to offer a particularly in depth examination of a multi-dimensional and often misunderstood slice of popular culture unfolding in front of us. New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times is a candid snapshot of this magically vibrant moment in rock history, inspirational and brimming with DIY purity.

Rock 'n' roll needs to be central to our culture again

[@Benjamenvince]

We need it now more than ever

[@applecheeks12345]

Garage music is about feeling and energy. Love it, live it and enjoy it. There is a sense of freedom & not worrying about what some people think.

[@quipamo]

so crazy how different all of these groups are now.

[@alesk825]

I know, its cooler than all the bands copying a very popular band like Nirvana or even Oasis. Variety creates masterpieces

[@hugiilopez2111]

They either focus too much on synth or sound too clean and pop.

[@NyqWill95]

And it’s sad that a few of these bands have broken up. Rip Jay.

[@Karlasheryniele]

Fuck all these people saying these bands suck and shit. At least they are keeping rock alive or what? You want more pop shit? Ty segall is so fucking good, I love him.

[@abelramirez7320]

Karla sheryniele IMO Ty is a rock legend

[@Karlasheryniele]

Abel Ramirez yes he is.

[@drago6769]

I saw Ty live when he was touring Manipulator and it was so good. Ty is honestly going to be remembered as one of the greats from his generation

[@drago6769]

I wish I saw Jay live (RIP) but I am lucky enough to say I've seen the Black Lips live as well as Ty Segall, Wavves, among others. One of my favorite memories was when I saw the Black Lips and randomly during a song Cole leans over and pukes on the stage and doesn't miss a note and continues like nothing happened at all.

[@downallyourstreets]

How else would we get that Rockn’roll dive-bar smell?!

[@jessimaestudio]

This is my favorite documentary. True story.

[@scotchrobbins]

A scene you can believe in.

[@jameosun]

Garage puts the boogie into my bones and the ringing into my ears and I fucking love it!!!!

[@noahkillough2840]

That footage of Jay caught me off guard..rip

[@zetusbrown6737]

No better way to open though

[@oscar909500]

he was the pinicale of late 2000's garage rock tho

[@surfsupterrygordy293]

Never gets easier thinking that Jay is gone forever....

[@weedjuul6519]

Loved this doc as a teen and now I am back to see how many people in it have been exposed as predators

[@NyqWill95]

Sucks doesn’t it. Looked up to some of the folks in here and it breaks my heart to know what they’ve done.

[@weedjuul6519]

@@NyqWill95 Yeah it sucks. Glad to see John Dwyer and Ty are still good people as far as I can see though.

[@bencuttriss]

how many of these bands got exposed?

[@versnellingspookie]

Who has been exposed as such?

[@versnellingspookie]

@@bencuttriss NoBunny for one

[@SpeedDemon908]

Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees are the only guys that are still relevant in 2016

[@jordiholterman2137]

Most of these bands are timeless, when you're talking about irrelevant bands in the comments you should fuck off. But mayby you meant to say that Ty Segall and OCS are the only bands who are still active in the music industry?

[@SpeedDemon908]

Wack boi No, not to say that I don't like the music, but this was just another hipster trend that died like 2 years after it took off. Ty and OCs (and Black Lips) are the only ones I know that anyone listens to anymore. I'm not hating, I'm just saying it's a shame that this did die off because I do enjoy the music.

[@jordiholterman2137]

Lucas Crossett yeah mayby, but this documentary was shot in 2010 and uploaded on youtube back in 2012. And bands like The Gories and The Reatards are from the 80s and 90s. I don't love all the bands in the documentary but most of them are really great.

[@RegularDude00]

what about king gizzard and the lizzard wizzard?

[@jordiholterman2137]

RegularDude They weren't that big in 2010. But they sure are great! wouldn't say they are a classic garage rock band. More psychedelic sounds and bigger sound (a lot of guitars, drummers and wah) Love them tho!

[@usernamebada42]

I've watched this documentary three times already. It's brilliant.

[@Slig1977]

This is great but there's another documentary on KZbin that focuses more on the Garage Punk bands of the 90's. Does anyone know it's name? The Mummies, Supercharger, Oblivians, Teengenerate, great shit like that. When I talk about 90's punk rock people assume I'm talking about NOFX or Green day... EDIT: I just answered my own question. It was part 2 of this goddamn documentary. I'm a dumbass.

[@JOHNNYGARAGEPUNK]

LOTZ OF FUZZ, FEEDBACK & FARFISA'S , COZ I LOVE , AND I LIVE......PRIMATIVE!

[@versnellingspookie]

Who would've thought owning a Fender twin reverb amp and having no life goals was an aesthetic at one point

[@jumpscare993]

Still is old man

[@carlmarcks114]

I miss burger records 😢

Asinine comment

[@llovebeats3749]

"I had a candy bar for breakfast" Thats a quick take on the story of my life thank you.

[@thedirtypennies]

So many great bands!

[@Noisey]

You're welcome! We do this for you!

[@sirsurfpsycho]

thank you from 2021😂

[@teddyn3051]

i’m not sure if you have an archive of the footage/audio but my god i would die for a release of some of these live recordings. this version of memphis blues is monstrous.

[@ThoseAmericanGirlsOfficial]

We just watched all 4 parts, this shuld B a rilly rilly famus film, this is so good

[@rylanfernandes7371]

Jay is the GOAT

[@obelvs]

i'm so old for this. if someone told me that in 2012 the teenagers would actually be people ranging from 30 to 40 years...

[@versnellingspookie]

I loved this documentary, like; i've probably watched it 20 times over. But these people seem insufferable now that i'm older

[@lfh1973]

This IS Garage! This genre has been around since the early 60s, unlike the one you listen to.

[@Threecreation]

Always love me some garage rock! Thanks, Noisey!

[@StephaneVorstellung]

Ten years and only 1.2k likes....GOOD we want it that way!

[@Spectrescup]

Props for giving the Clean so much credit. The 1st Clean 12" (Boodle Boodle Boodle) is one of the best guitar records ever made.

[@TheFamilyofcrazies]

Sleazy rock and roll. The way it should be.

[@obrev4633]

I like The Chats

[@KELTONWOLFE]

I know this is a total shot in the dark but does anyone know where to find the reatards set at gonerfest 6? It was shown in this video and the filming and audio is amazing I just wish I could find a full song attleast.

[@ONeill01]

[@quinncooper1643]

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Love how all these people try to make sense of everything, this come from punk, this came from garage this came for pink Floyd, to hell with that. Just play to have fun and kick out all your shit.

[@TheIvoryrocker]

haha. the explosion really isnt that new but its pretty fucking rad.

[@RedSquaredFox]

Let's get wasted and go downstairs

[@mattwennin]

I came here expecting an exploding garage...instead I get whatever the heck this is.

[@dylanfranco7136]

Ty Segall is God.

[@TheBrendanio001]

[@ellenfazackerley654]

garage is already a genre i watch this expecting real garage

[@noahkillough2840]

+Ellen Fazackerley Garage Rock has been around since the 1960s, your UK Garage fucking techno bullshit is the new trash

where the fuck is white fence???

[@davetbassbos]

I'm so pissed, I thought this was about UK Garage the greatest music ever created

[@Slig1977]

When you say UK Garage do you mean Freakbeat stuff like The Creation and The Move or that trashy, chavvy techno crap?

[@SinnGread]

it says nothing … and heres why...if you are saying anything at all ..Vocal intelligibility is important... go practice kidos

[@derenkirby1]

I'm hardly going to research a genre I don't like. Was just disappointed when I heard it, expecting UK grime.

[@verbaledge]

flag is hardcore...i dont know why i needed to say that

[@ONeill01]

oh god please do a little bit of research.

[@alkey21]

Yall lost me at the magic kids… FOH

[@JacksonPolyp]

These guys are all so little. What's with little guys and this kind of music?

[@regolyth]

I thought this was going to be about "ga-ridge" music not "ga-rahj' music. Sad =(

everything here is just a pretentious rip-off of danzig...

FIDLAR... no? wtf

[@aaronochoa7573]

Jan pva you better be joking they arent garage for shit

[@SpeedDemon908]

This is from 2010

[@gazriley624]

sorry but this ain't garage punk! Garage Punk is from the sixties!!!

[@PSYCHOTRONICbrdcst]

Nonsense! 60s garage punk is 60s garage punk. New garage punk is new garage punk. Just cos it's new doesn't mean it's not real. If that were the case there'd be no metal music today as the original heavy metal stems from the 70s. Same with jazz. Same with all music. Go have a nap in your rocking chair, granddad.

[@Slig1977]

Yes, everyone here knows garage punk was most popular in the 60's but it's a subgenre that never really died out. It morphed into the proto-punk of The Stooges and MC5, then was picked up by guys like The Ramones and The Undertones in the 70's. The 80's had bands like Thee Mighty Caesars who revived the 60's sounds. The 90's had bands like The Mummies, plus The Gories and The Oblivians who are mentioned in this video. In the 21st century it's being led by Ty Segall, Thee Oh See and The Black Lips. Class dismissed.

[@NyqWill95]

Why doh think it’s called “new” garage explosion

[@JayOneAlumni]

These are are all 60's/alt wannabes. I miss the grunge/alt days. These new wavers have no idea and are lost lol.

[@kainhall]

go lessen to nirvana more....but you dont even like bleach cuz "its too hardcore". they are not trying to be 60's. or grundge..... they are playing music.. music that sounds fucking good. gets me moving, strikes a feeling.

[@bulletbelt97]

You're stupid. This IS the new Punk scene.

[@JayOneAlumni]

***** You are both stupid.

[@drago6769]

Hahaha you're a classic case of someone who is stuck in the past and can't expand their musical horizons. Punk Rock was started because the generation of kids fucking hated people like you who were stuck thinking that nothing else is as good as it used to be.

[@rogmk6964]

it's still rock and that's all that matters it's what kept them going in the 90's, 60's, they're pulling inspiration from everything just like Nirvana and Mudhoney, Therapy? too just listen to Bass Drum of Death pure raw power with a healthy touch of sweet lyrics. The sound of territorial pissings will never die rock lives kyuss lives primus suck

[@Bornmirri]

Expected electronic UK garage, not some merican rock ass shit :)

[@chrishenniker5944]

This is the real deal, it’s been around since the late fifties. May I recommend you get the Nuggets compilation, Pebbles and Rave From The Grave? You can’t go wrong with that.

[@TheBrendanio001]

Who else thought this was going to be about new garage as in bass music? Sorry, not for me :/
