The Gants were an American garage rock band that originated from Greenwood, Mississippi in the mid-1960s. Known for their raw and energetic style, they drew heavily from British Invasion bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Gants' most notable member was Sid Herring, whose distinctive vocal style and songwriting ability set them apart from many of their contemporaries. Their most influential work is arguably their 1965 hit single "Road Runner," which embodies their signature sound and solidified their place in the American garage rock scene.
