Garage-Psych (mid/late US 60s) | Evolution Of Genré
Before these lines, there has been an article about Garage Rock, which I recommend reading first to fully understand what was about to happen in the mid-sixties, that lead to this intermixture of two genré's that are otherwise widely considered on their own.
