Encyclopedia > Garage band

The term garage band has several meanings, all related in someway to music. Music is an art, entertainment, or other human activity that involves organized and audible sounds and silence. ...

  • A musical act which performs garage rock; here the term refers to a musical genre, and not to the capability of the musicians.
  • An amateur musical act which rehearses and performs in garages and other private places, and which is either not interested in, or not sufficiently talented for, public performances or a recording career. A garage band in this sense may or may not perform the garage rock style.
  • A garage band usually consists of "kids", for example, pre-teens to teens, and could play all genres of music.
  • GarageBand, an audio production tool published by Apple Computer.
  • GarageBand.com is a website that helps publicize emerging bands.

Garage rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1472 words)
Several of the "punk" bands that emerged in the later seventies, notably The Ramones, were heavily influenced by the sixties garage acts, as were proto punk bands of the early '70s such as Detroit Iggy and The Stooges and The New York Dolls.
Bands playing garage punk differed from the garage rock revival bands in that they were less cartoonish caricatures of '60s garage bands and their overall sound was even more loud, obnoxious, and raw, often infusing elements of proto punk and 1970s punk rock (hence the "garage punk" term).
Garage rock and garage punk coexisted throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s with many independent record labels releasing thousands of records by bands playing various styles of primitive rock and roll all around the world.
