Yep, bubblegum and garage are bedmates. Can't really separate 'em. Like punk is a descendant of bubblegum whether punk cares to admit it or not. Punk is like the ultimate garage band music/noiz. Anyone who doubts should listen "Quick Joey Small" by the Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus. Written by Joey Levine and Kris Resnick and released in 1968, this tune shows how closely allied garage, gum and punk really are. This song was not well known but it was perhaps the best of the bubblegum songs. It was raw, sort of grim, not sweet at all, had some grit to it and yet the chorus was like a rhyme you might hear young girls doing while jumping rope. And yet, it would sound perfectly at home in a punk tune. This is a clear link IMO. Punk descended far more from bubblegum/garage than it did metal. In fact, I think punk influenced metal WAY more than the other way around.
