I've been searching the website Garage Hangover for garage bands from Virginia.

On January 5, there was an article about a group called The Roaches. They were from Springfield.

The Roaches came from Springfield, Virginia in Fairfax County. The band’s members were:

Leon Norton, Jr. – vocals
Tony Taylor – vocals
Craig Mossman – lead guitar

The Roaches made one single in 1964 with the fine vocal “Someone With a Heart” backed with an instrumental, “Night Life”.

There are many more pictures and a video:



If you expand your search, you might be able to find all sorts of groups from northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland.
