The Daybreakers

A garage rock and roll combo from Muscatine, IA, who trim only one one, “Psychedelic Siren” (1967), that was rediscovered by enthusiasts upon its inclusion in the Psychedelic Unknowns anthology in the first ’80s. These were a far more or much less average garage music group of that time period, led by songwriter, organist, and vocalist Al Collins, who — beneath the name Potential Allan Collins — afterwards became among the writers from the Dick Tracy comic remove. In the first ’70s they advanced into the similarly obscure Rox beneath the management of Bruce Peters, and pursued a far more pop-oriented path that recalled the past due-’60s Beach Kids and early Raspberries.
