Favoriting Hard Stuff with Frank in Queens: Playlist from August 15, 2023 Favoriting

Frank In Queens's avatar View Frank In Queens's profile Favoriting

The sound of the 60s becoming the 70s...and beyond! Late-era garage and early hard rock, with a pinch of more "modern" sounds thrown in for flavor. Fuzz, frets, riffage, and wattage. Let your hair down on WFMU's Rock And Soul Radio and get a taste of the "Hard Stuff".

So I guess both Robbie & Jimi passed thru John Hammond Jr. Saw him solo acoustic, as he did - & that was one white man can bring the Robert Johnson - something to experience @ short range I can tell you ...may still be some shrapnel near my heart...

The stoner rock scene paired with the neo-garage stuff that was happening in the late 90s/earlly 00s was hugely formative for me. It was great to finally be able to see great new bands, and be old enough to get into clubs!
