I'm a garage rock fanatic obviously and I like all three of the bands you mention, especially the Remains (though I'd hardly call them a blues band).
But they didn't get their inspiration from from African American blues. They were bitten by the British Invasion and were influenced by bands such as... The Rolling Stones.
