It’s no secret that the West Coast has been kicking our ass in the garage-rock department for a while now, but for those who don’t know, I Need You Bad looks to be a solid introduction to the caustic but catchy work of bands in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Portland. Due out November 15th through a special Polyvinyl/Burger Records partnership (Burger will release the cassette version, of course), the compilation features artwork from Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams and 15 tracks that were hand-selected by Sonny Smith of Sonny & The Sunsets.
