About The Seeds:
The Seeds were an American garage rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California in 1965. The band is best known for their hit single 'Pushin' Too Hard' and their influence on the development of garage rock and the broader counterculture movement of the 1960s.
The Seeds were led by frontman and vocalist Sky Saxon, who was born Richard Marsh in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1937. Saxon moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and became involved in the city's thriving music scene, initially as a member of The Electra-Fires and The Soul Rockers. In 1965, he formed The Seeds with lead guitarist Jan Savage, rhythm guitarist Daryl Hooper, and drummer Rick Andridge.
The Seeds quickly established themselves as one of the most popular bands in the Los Angeles music scene, thanks in part to their energetic live shows and their unique sound, which blended garage rock with psychedelic and proto-punk influences. The band's music was marked by Saxon's distinctive vocal style, which often featured him shouting or screaming his lyrics over Hooper's swirling, organ-driven melodies and Savage's blistering guitar solos.
In 1966, The Seeds released their self-titled debut album, which included the hit single 'Pushin' Too Hard.' The song became an anthem for disaffected youth and is widely regarded as one of the defining tracks of the garage rock era. The band followed up with a string of successful albums and singles, including 'Can't Seem to Make You Mine' and 'Mr. Farmer.'
Despite their success, The Seeds were plagued by internal strife and lineup changes throughout their career. Saxon, in particular, was often at odds with his bandmates and struggled with personal demons throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Despite these challenges, The Seeds continued to tour and record throughout the decades, with Saxon remaining the sole constant member of the band up until his death in 2009.
Today, The Seeds are remembered as one of the most influential and innovative bands of the 1960s, whose unique blend of garage rock, psychedelia, and punk laid the groundwork for the development of punk and alternative music in the decades that followed.
