It was the logical extension of two of the most important and enduring pop music tributaries of the 1960s — the girl group sound and the garage band explosion, respectively — but the distaff garage rock scene has earned precious little documentation on record or in history books over the years. Romulan\’s long-running Girls in the Garage series has done much to rectify that oversight, however, compiling an astounding amount of p crunch — the first CD volume in the series is also its strongest, adding 11 tracks to the 16 that made up the original vinyl. Like all garage collections, there are equal amounts killer and filler, and the joy of discovery is alone worth the price of admission — Denise & Co.\’s \»Boy, What Will You Do Then,\» the Belles\’ \»Come Back,\» and Lydia Marcelle\’s \»The Girl He Needs\» are top-shelf by any standard, however, and the Continental Co-Ets\’ blistering instrumental \»Melody of Junk\» dismisses once and for all any lingering misconceptions that the girls couldn\’t rock as hard as the boys.
Prior to Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Courtney Love and other era-defining women in rock, there were the girls in the garage. Like their male counterparts discovered, being in a band was not only cool and alluring, it was sexual and ultimately political, but without the statement. The garage band was a medium that enabled their voices to be heard, and these girls weren\’t gonna be kept in the kitchen! Like pebbles did for the boys, Girls In The Garage captures the raw essence of those juvenile dreams played out through guitars, drums, mics and amplifiers. Prevailing gender roles would be tested as rock `n\’ roll became someone else\’s domain…..the girls!!
