Kostas does it again and here we go . . . Vol III of his Psychedelic Sixties Stateside Series continues  . . . . 


Kostas says : "Psychedelic States is a series of 1960s psychedelic rock and garage rock compilation albums, each focusing on artists from specific states. They were released by Gear Fab Records. Several states had more than one volume representing them. Several states had more than one volume representing them.



Garage rock (sometimes called garage punk or '60s punk) is a raw and energetic style of rock music that flourished in the mid-1960s, most notably in the United States and Canada, and has experienced a series of subsequent revivals. The style is characterized by basic chord structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a fuzzbox, as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery. Its name derives from the perception that groups were often made up of young amateurs who rehearsed in the family garage, although many were professional. "
