The Alarm Clocks are a cornerstone of mid-60s garage rock from Parma, Ohio. Formed in 1965 by Mike Pierce (vocals/bass), Bruce Boehm (guitar), and Bill Schwark (drums), the band carved a raw, energetic sound that would influence garage punk for years to come. Their early single “Yeah!/No Reason to Complain” helped cement their place in the genre and was later featured on Crypt Records’ Back from the Grave collection, introducing new generations to their jangly guitars and urgent rhythms.
