garage band

an amateur group of people who play and practice rock music in a garage

A garage band is a small, informal group of musicians who practice and perform together, often in a casual setting like a garage or home studio. Typically composed of young or amateur musicians, garage bands play a variety of music genres, often focusing on rock, punk, or pop. The term suggests a self-made approach to making music, where the emphasis is on creativity and fun rather than professional polish. Garage bands often play local gigs and may record their own music independently.
