The Standells

The Standells are a garage rock band from Los Angeles, California, US, formed in the 1960s, who have been referred to as the "punk band of the 1960s", and said to have inspired such groups as the Sex Pistols and Ramones.[1] They are best known for their 1966 hit "Dirty Water", now the anthem of several Boston sports teams and is played following every Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins win. The song is considered a garage rock classic.
Their music has been used in film.
Member Dewey Martin went on to become a member of Buffalo Springfield.
Dirty Water made it to number eleven on the charts. Some Times Good Guys Don't Wear White was nearly a top forty hit. Why Pick On Me and Can't Help But Love You were both minor hits. The Boy Next Door nearly made the Hot 100.
