garage bands
Basement music groups
A garage band is an amateur rock group, typically composed of teenagers rehearsing in someone's garage or basement.
The term evokes raw, unpolished music made with more enthusiasm than technical skill: We started a garage band in high school but never played a real gig.
Garage rock as a genre embraces this rough, lo-fi aesthetic.
