Was wondering on the lack of mention of MBV. I thought they became the archetype after it had initially been JAMC. Posibly both transcended the genre as innovators are wont to do but I think they were the model others were working from.
& MBV had been an interesting garage band up to about '86.

Was wondering about bringing up Loop too since they seemed to be heavier than most and using rhythms imported from dub etc.

Could definitely reccommend the 1st couple of lps by Medicine, the band Brad laner moved onto after Savage Republic. They add a level of pure bliss to a sound leaning on MBV quite closely.

Also wonder about Band of Susans and Sky Cries Mary who just about fit the sound but also have other influences.
Bits of early Flaming Lips might just about fit too.

& Bark Psychosis were somewhat connected to the scene. as were Boo Radleys weren't they? was listening to a '93 set by them last night
