The lineage of garage rock: the footprints left by the mavericks from abroad

Garage rock, born from the underground scene of the 1960s.

Mavericks like The Devil Dogs and The White Stripes have delivered a raw yet fiery sound that stands apart from more polished music.

Tracing the footsteps of artists across the globe—from The Prisoners in the UK, to The Devil Dogs in New York, to The White Stripes in Detroit—we bring you the allure of garage rock, a genre that could be called the very origin of modern music.
