The Standells

The Standells are an American garage rock band from Los Angeles formed in the 1960s, who have been said to be a "punk band of the 1960s." They are considered to have inspired groups including the Sex Pistols and Ramones. They recorded the 1966 hit "Dirty Water", written by their producer, Ed Cobb. "Dirty Water" is the anthem of several Boston sports teams and is played after every Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins home win.
