Garage rock

The Kingsmen is a Garage rock act. Their sound grew out of Aaron Tippin, Richard Berry, Louie Louie, The Olympics and Sir Mack Rice. Those roots explain a lot about how The Kingsmen arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Sonics, The Box Tops, The Animals and Jay & The Americans, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Stooges, Motörhead, California, The Wailers and Ultramagnetic MC's, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around The Kingsmen, reaching back through Aaron Tippin and forward to The Stooges.
