Texan 1960s & early 70s pioneered a raw, bluesy acid-drenched sound that helped shape both garage rock and proto-punk. Led by by the 13th Floor Elevators defined the genre with their electric jug and blistering guitar feedback. Contemporaries like The Golden Dawn and the ultra-obscure Cold Sun expanded on these unhinged, hypnotic motifs, cementing Texas as an epicenter of lysergic experimentation.
