Mod

Mod rock emerged in the early 1960s British Mod subculture, fusing rhythm and blues, soul and early rock ’n’ roll into a sleek, danceable sound. Defined by punchy guitar riffs, propulsive basslines and sharp, tailored fashion, Mod rock icons like The Who, Small Faces and The Kinks drove a youth movement fueled by scooters and modernist style. Today, the Mod rock genre continues to influence indie and alternative acts with its soulful vocals, energetic grooves and timeless aesthetic.
