Certain Songs #2184: The Seeds – “Up in Her Room”

September 14, 2021 by Jim Connelly

Album: A Web of Sound
Year: 1966

I’m going to blame the Rolling Stones for this one. I mean, you can pretty much blame the Stones, Yardbirds, Kinks & Who for 98.42% of all mid-60s American garage rock, so that’s not saying much.

The Seeds came from the same mid-60s Los Angeles scene that also produced The Byrds, Love, The Doors and Buffalo Springfield. However, unlike Roger McGuinn, Arthur Lee, Jim Morrison and Stephen Stills/Neil Young, the principal songwriter and lead singer of the Seeds — the awesomely named Sky Saxon — didn’t have any major artistic pretensions.

But like all of the above, The Seeds kicked out some absolutely fantastic singles, the best of which was their 1965 garage-raver, “Pushin’ Too Hard,” which comes roaring out of the gate driven by Rick Andridge’s double-time drums, Jan Savage’s guitar and Darryl Hooper’s keyboards. Over all of this forward momentum, Saxon is snarling at some poor girl.
