Straight outta Asheville, NC – it's The Satyrs!

Sundazed is putting out a 10-song collection of rare garage rock from The Satyrs. Check the title track from their lone single below. 


Here's the scoop...

There's a load of unfiltered North Carolina ‘60s garage rock from Asheville teen stompers The Satyrs coming your way in September from Sundazed! This LP features previously unissued tracks and their lone 1965 single – all bookended by two savage versions of the title track! 

The contents of this “lost” tape have since been restored and are included on this LP along with the Satyrs’ 1965 originals. Two versions of “Don’t Be Surprised,” the Mark V and the Wal-Mor version, bookend this artifact of true North Carolina garage. Note: This is a different band than the Mike Doerr-led Satyrs of "Yesterday's Hero" fame who formed circa 1968 in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. 

In their brief, explosive appearance on the garage rock scene, the Satyrs provide a look into Southern ‘60s rock and the rippling effects of rock ‘n’ roll in mid-century America. Tenacious in their desire to be a part of the rock ‘n’ roll revolution, the Satyrs successfully captured the essence of a '60s teenager's ephemeral desire to step into limelight, even for a brief moment.

Includes: Don’t Be Surprised (2:26) • Get Out Of That Rut (3:04) • It Won’t be Long (3:02) • Ticky Tacky (2:31) • Try Not To Cry (2:13) • To Be With You (3:02) • I Walk The Line (Johnny Cash) (2:18) • The Shortest Road To You (1:42) • Blue Blue World (3:31) • Don’t Be Surprised (45 version) (2:21)

• Killer NC Garage gold pressed in its hometown of Asheville at citizen vinyl!

• Cut by Warren Defever (his name is alive) at Third Man Mastering!

• Includes their rarer than palm hair 45 cuts plus 8 you’ve never heard!

You can pre-order a limited-run yellow vinyl copy of The Satyrs' album "Don't Be Surprised" (out September 8th) direct from Sundazed right here. Check out the title track from The Satyrs' 1965 single which appeared on the Gritty 60s Garage Punk (Beat Rocket) comp.
