Freakbeat

Freakbeat is a loosely defined subgenre of pop music originally coined by English music journalist Phil Smee in 1986 to refer to "hard-edged" British mod influenced groups during the British Invasion and Swinging London period of the mid-to late 1960s. The genre bridges R&B, beat and early psychedelia.
