This Los Angeles-based group was the inspiration of Sky Saxon (real name Richard Marsh) who formed them in 1965. Earlier outfits included Sky Saxon and the Soul Rockers and the Amoeba. They were extremely popular locally and their records sold quite well. Their debut single Can't Seem To Make You Mine made little impression as did (You're) Pushin' Too Hard when it was first issued. Their music was raw and often simple, but Saxon's growling vocals and their pummeling repetitive rhythms gave them a unique sound. When the debut album was issued a local DJ gave Pushin' Too Hard extended airplay and it was reissued climbing to No. 36 in the Billboard Hot 100. Their second album was also issued in the U.K. by Vocalion. It opened with the vibrant Mr. Farmer which became their next single, and featured rampant rockers like Rollin' Machine and Tripmaker and a few gentler numbers. The Seeds were now hugely popular in L.A. and appointed a new manager, Tim Hudson who was apparently largely responsible for their nationwide success by pushing their flower power aspect at the right time. In fact, much of their music was punky and only the Future album can really be called 'psychedelic'.
