“‘Pre Strike Sweep’ is a pummeling blast of drum fills and distorted bass, the best part of which is the middle, when it opens up into half-time and psychedelic swirls of wah-wah take the lead.” — SPIN
“’Pre Strike Sweep’ is a feverish punk-leaning thrasher. Guitars chug and screech
behind Shaw’s hoarse barking and Moothart’s restless drumbeat. It kind of sounds like
GØGGS covering Show Me The Body covering Dead Kennedys.” — Stereogum
“‘Pre Strike Sweep’ unfolds across four chaotic minutes, with a steady river of distortion coursing through a peripatetic storm of squeals, effects, and one killer solo.” — Consequence of Sound
“Augmented with some spaced synths, ‘Pre Strike Sweep’ comes on like Hawkwind
gone hardcore and its a brutal slap to the collective jaw.” — Raven Sings The Blues
GØGGS, the Los Angeles-based group comprised of co-founders Chris Shaw (vocals) and Ty Segall (guitars), and Michael Anderson (bass) and Charles Moothart (drums, guitar), unleash their new album, Pre Strike Sweep, today via streaming services. The physical release on In The Red remains set at September 28th. GØGGS will celebrate the release with shows between now and then in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tustin, California (dates are listed below).
GØGGS add a new level of primordial anxiety to their already catastrophic symphony with Pre Strike Sweep. Written collaboratively as a band with lyrics by Shaw, and recorded and mixed over the last year by Segall, Pre Strike Sweep explores the damaging affects of modern life before blowing them up one by one.
GØGGS Tour Dates:
Fri. Sep. 14 – San Francisco, CA @ The Independent w/ CCR Headcleaner, Spiritual Camp
Sat. Sep. 15 – Los Angeles, CA @ Teragram Ballroom w/ Shark Toys
Sun. Sep. 16 – Tustin, CA @ Marty’s on Newport
