One of many side projects of the ceaselessly busy <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Ty Segall</a>, GØGGS is a trio that churn up an angry storm of rage-infused garage punk, with some cheap electronics thrown in for good measure. Joining <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Segall</a> are Chris Shaw of <a href="spotify:artist:6neRQxL2y2KKIrOCt7x5NQ">Ex-Cult</a> and Charles Moothart of <a href="spotify:artist:1X88xrhEvsoUjJ6EUHwiWF">Fuzz</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1X7eUxuSU68NGzKdTp1AhY">CFM</a>. A debut single in 2015 led to a self-titled full-length in 2016, followed by the burning and sometimes sludgy follow-up Pre Strike Sweep two years later.
The GØGGS' story began in 2013, when <a href="spotify:artist:6neRQxL2y2KKIrOCt7x5NQ">Ex-Cult</a> opened for <a href="spotify:artist:5iFEjq22lxpgvzhpblcc68">the Ty Segall Band</a> on a tour following the release of <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Segall</a>'s album Slaughterhouse. <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Segall</a> and Shaw discussed a collaborative project, and their mutual friend Moothart was invited aboard. It wasn't until 2015 that the new group began work on their first recording project, with the trio spending a month writing material before repairing to <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Segall</a>'s home studio for a week to lay down tracks. Taking the name GØGGS, the band featured <a href="spotify:artist:58XGUNsRNu3cVOIOYk5chx">Segall</a> and Moothart swapping duties on guitar and drums, while Shaw handled lead vocals. The trio released their debut single, "She Got Harder," through <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22In+the+Red+Records%22">In the Red Records</a> in November 2015. (A cover of <a href="spotify:artist:33EUXrFKGjpUSGacqEHhU4">Iggy Pop</a>'s "Billy Is a Runaway" appeared on the B-side of the vinyl edition.) In July 2016, GØGGS dropped their raw and insistent self-titled debut album, and stayed semi-dormant until the 2018 release of sophomore effort Pre Strike Sweep. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
