Episode 453 - Top Ten Essential Mod Bands (Besides The Who) w/Mike Bisch and Darren Lolk

With its humble beginnings in the coffee shops and jazz clubs of London and Paris and comprised of a new crop of young beatniks and bohemians, the mod subculture was codified in the mid 1960s. The scene was marked by forward fashion, scooters, hatred of rockers and a bunch of new bands made up of fans of black music - soul, r&b, reggae, blues and modern jazz, but with a youthful, amphetamine-fueled rock n roll edge. Over the decades "mod" as a movement has come in and out of fashion, but there are certain bands that all mods young and old can agree on. There's The Who, and everyone else featured in this episode. Fellow mods and sods Mike Bisch and Darren Lolk help us on our journey through the incredible history of mod, and the bands that were its soundtrack.
