Bands that are similar to the Fuzztones, the Sonics and Count Five?

[Nervous Rex]

I have been searching for this sound that i cant find i think that it's got that fuzztones type organ and the fuzz guitar like Link Wray and the wierd themes like The Cramps, I'm sure there are other bands that have this, any suggestions?

[Old School Hero]

As far as that 60's go you gotta dive deeper into the depths of 60's Garage. Start with some comps like Pebbles, Back From The Grave, and Teenage Shutdown.

Try Early Zombina and The Skeletines, or the Love-Me-Nots for present day kicks like this.

there will be more... but I'm all Eastered out...

[Jersey City Mods]

Start with Pebbles Vol. 5 for the old school comps that match what you're seeking.  If you are looking for current bands we suggest the Chesterfield Kings, the Woggles or Mondo Topless (their song "Panty Sniffer" meets all 3 of your criteria). 

Mondo Topless "Panty Sniffer" live

Here's another from a band that we loved in the 90's. It might scratch your itch.

Ultra 5 "She's the Girl"

Maybe 1313 Mockingbird Lane , The Worst , Fortune and Maltese , Royal Nonesuch , The Brood , Gruesomes , Tell - Tale Hearts , Cynics , (Early) Pandoras , Ugly Beats , Untamed Youth , as far as Reagan Administration and after goes . But , I've heard virtually NO ONE that sounded remotely like Link Wray , The Sonics , The Cramps , nor even The Count V.

You can't buy that sound. Bands should listen to past masters for inspiration , then go out and find their own thing.

OK, I'm confused. You posted this topic in the '50s/'60s group, but are you looking for '60s bands or are you looking for more modern bands that play in that style? If you're looking for modern bands, there are thousands like that (what you're describing is simply the garage style of rock'n'roll with lotsa fuzz guitar/distortion, Vox or Farfisa organs, and primitive production). Try listening to our podcasts... that'd be a good place to start.

[Peter Best]

Not to forget the 5 Gravel CDs...not as great as the a teenage shutdowns, but far better than any pebbles!

[hicksville hogwash]

If you are looking for fuzztonessoundalikes... go find the band the fuzztones ripped off 97.65% - top fuzz twin gits, organ whirling, tuff vocals, great lyrics, all black wearing, one glove toting geniuses just go to The Music Machine.

There aren't many really good bands that sound like the ones you mentioned...one comes to mind though...the PANDORAS:):)......anyhow, few ladies play the organ like Lana Loveland:):)!!

Thank you for the pic. I saw The Pandoras once , it was the "Stop Pretending" lineup.

They used modern gear , but were right on the money , musically.....Then they went "Metal"....I guess there's a few people that liked that stuff.I have yet to speak to one. I even heard a DJ take the EP "Rock Hard" off the turntable , and apologize for playing it.
