Bloodhound by The Downliners Sect (1964)


If you're looking for a band that sounded like a cross between the Yardbirds and the Rolling Stones, the Downliners Sect might be for you. Of course, they never achieved the fame of the bands I've compared them to, but their early music is no less satisfying.

The Sect would go on to develop a psych sound in the later half of the sixties. They would later break up and then reform to reinvent themselves again. To me, though, this earliest work stands out the most.

Just about any tune off of their 1964 release, The Sect, could have been selected to showcase their sound. Here is Bloodhound.
