This microblog is dedicated to the forgotten rebels, the unsung heroes, the pioneers, innovators, and revivalists of early rock and pop.

This means ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s pop and rock ‘n roll (and later groups in that style) — also, any influences on early rock and roll, including, but not limited to: gospel, blues, vocal jazz, hillbilly, country, folk, boogie, and swing.

To be even more specific: Rockabilly, blues, garage rock, soul, doo wop, hillbilly, folk, psych, surf, glam/glitter rock, power pop, traditional ska, rocksteady/early reggae, punk/proto-punk, caveteen, freakbeat, early gospel, psychobilly, beat, mod revival, pub rock… you get the picture.
