Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. Its name derives from the perception that many often rehearsed in a family garage.The style was characterised by lyrics and delivery that were more aggressive and unsophisticated than in commercial pop music at the time often for instance using guitars distorted through a fuzzbox. It began to evolve from regional scenes as early as 1958 heavily influenced by surf rock.
