The Seeds were an American rock band based in Los Angeles, California in the mid to late 1960s. The group, whose repertoire spread between garage rock and acid rock, are considered one of the pioneers of punk rock. The Seeds' first single, "Can't Seem to Make You Mine", was a regional hit in southern California in 1965. The song was also played regularly on AM rock stations in northern California (and probably elsewhere), where it was well received by listeners. The band had their only national Top 40 hit, "Pushin' Too Hard", in 1966.
The Seeds is the band’s debut studio album , released in April 1966. After the release of two singles for "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" and "You're Pushing Too Hard" in 1965, the album was released and charted in the United States where it peaked at No. 132 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart. Modern reception of the album is positive, with critics noting the album influence on punk rock a decade later.
Like many garage rock bands, lead singer Sky Saxon's vocal style was influenced by the vocals of Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, but have also received comparisons to the vocals of rockabilly acts such as Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran.
Big Beat’s 2012 reissue of The Seeds nearly doubles the original LP’s running time, including the B-side “She’s Wrong” and a fistful of outtakes, unreleased tunes, and alternate versions, including the proto-rockabilly “Daisy Mae,” a 16-minute jam on “Evil Hoodoo,” and a hilariously lopsided version of “Pushin’ Too Hard.” The audio quality is excellent and this package has been put together with tender loving care, making this the definitive edition of the Seeds’ debut.
