bedsitter23I have one more band to throw your way.
The Golden Boys share a name with a song by the Germs/Pat Smear, and covered by No FX. I am not sure if the band took their name from any of those reference points, but it would not be surprising. They have a love for punk.
That said, this band from Austin, Texas probably gets their biggest influence from their Texas-based garage rock forefathers. They are as good as any punk band, but they have a love for the 13th Floor Elevators and Sir Douglas Quintent that informs their music. They also bring a certain folk rock vibe (the kind that seem to be perfected usually by Australian bands), and on top of all of that, they are championed by Thurston Moore.
That means they are right down my alley, and possibly yours.
Here's a song that is on the shortlist for 2012's best. "Dirty Finggernails".
Lead singer John Wesley Coleman III was actually on my radar a couple of years ago with his solo effort Steal My MInd. If you find the Golden Boys too polished (which is barely), maybe you will like his solo output.
