The Mods were from Southern New Jersey, where they played teen dances in place like Asbury Park (sometimes alongside The Castiles,,featuring a young guitarist named Bruce Springsteen). In the words of the GARAGE HANGOVER website:

"Their second record has their greatest recorded moment, the fantastic Ritual. It's known as having some of the most misogynistic lyrics of any garage song (and that's saying a lot!), but there's no denying the power of the opening riff when the bass and drums kick in."
