There seem to be absolutely hundreds of American guitar bands around right now with elements of this sound, generally classified under the Psych tag. Strangely it's reasonable to say that Brian Jonestown Massacre are probably just about the most influential American band of the last twenty years as you can hear traces of their fuzzy hazey waves of pure noise everywhere. Take LA's Drinking Flowers as today's example. Their last release, 2014's Sanity Restored 1972 mini-album on Lolipop Records takes it's name from the year Roky Erikson, another major inspiration for this stuff, was released from his sanatorium. Drinking Flowers meanwhile, do this all very well indeed. The record howls!
