The Standells | Try It | Album

Released in 1967, Try It by The Standells is a fascinating, albeit uneven, time capsule of a proto-punk band caught at a creative crossroads. Arriving on the heels of their legendary garage rock anthem "Dirty Water" and the commercial failure of their all-covers album The Hot Ones!, this final studio record shows the band trying to stretch beyond the confines of standard garage rock. They seamlessly weave early psychedelia, blue-eyed soul, and raw proto-punk into a transitional record that is brilliant in its highs but weighed down by its filler.
