Album Review

As mid-'60s L.A. garage bands go, the Seeds were perhaps the most primitive, which isn't necessarily a virtue. Whereas the Standells had good lyrics, the Leaves could write pop, and Love was gifted beyond comparison, Sky Saxon and company had to settle for attitude and an unintended comicalness. Their debut record is just that. It's comprised of snotty boy-girl songs and teeters on the edge of musical ineptness, though it does contain the garage classic "Pushin' Too Hard" (whose arrangement is recycled at least once here). The other significant tune is "Can't Seem to Make You Mine," which features a repetitive, haunted-house guitar riff. The rest of the record, though fairly forgettable, still reinforces the truth that pure punk appeared long before the Sex Pistols.

If you weren't in a coma in 1966, The Seeds and their "music" were a world-class laughingstock...

Face facts -- this band was thoroughly wretched in every respect: a lead "singer" (singer!) with a voice like a mosquito, who nasally whined and buzzed through such scintillating lyrics as, "try everything I know, to make you wanna love me so"; a congenital incapacity for keeping stringed instruments in a remote semblance of tuning; the drool-bucket "structure" of their inept Am-G, Am-G, Am-G, Am-G, etc., etc. chord pattern, which comprises a good half of the Seed's oeuvre. This band was/is a bloody, talentless sham -- they were an assault to the ears and eyes, and their "music" was enough to induce dyspepsia in a maggot.

Any attempt to intellectualize this pack of cretins is so much hot gas ("proto punk," "garage classics," etc.). 99% of the time, the fumes of pop-history revision waft forth from the scribblings of a misguided few who didn't actually have to live through bizarre backwater of the mid-60's SoCal music scene.

Some GOOD garage bands/proto punk of the same era include: Love, Leaves, Standells, Shadows of Knight, Midnighters, Music Machine; Crossfires (morphed into the Turtles), Castaways, early Beefhart (with Ry Cooder).

Thanks Sky

May you Rest In Peace...you brought an edge to music that didnt exist before you. I was in 6th grade when Pushing Too Hard came out and had my own garage band the following year because of that song. Great tunes on this release, but would've liked to have seen, "Are you a Girl or a Boy" too...Love the Ramones version of Cant Seem to Make you Mine, but you were and always will be the original. Thanks for making an Impact to many.

it wont spoil your fun...

Biography

Formed: 1965 in Los Angeles, CA

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s

Best known for their rock & roll standard "Pushin' Too Hard," the Seeds combined the raw, Stonesy appeal of garage rock with a fondness for ragged, trashy psychedelia. And though they never quite matched the commercial peak of their first two singles, "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You...
