THE DROOGS "STONE COLD WORLD" 1984 + "Heads Examined" EP 1983

Being from southern California and playing 1960s-inspired music, the Droogs were often associated with the neo-psychedelic Paisley Underground. The Droogs' sound, however, was always more garage punk than the more psychedelic sound of Paisley Underground groups, such as the Dream Syndicate and the Rain Parade. Still, the Droogs had close ties to other bands from the area, particularly the Dream Syndicate.Long standing US garage rock/punk band who formed in 1973 releasing records through the late '70's but coming to prominence in the mid 80's as part of the neo-garage psych boom. In some ways they can be considered soul mates of The Wipers. This LP captures what may be considered the best Droogs album from 1984. Raw sixties inspired psychedelic screaming punk rock with a dark late 70's sneer . From the opening fuzzy cut "Change is Gonna Come" to the closing title track on side one you know you are listening to one of the great lost neo-garage albums from the 80's...THE DROOGS:
Roger Clay : Guitar, Vocals / Ric Albin : Vocals, Harmonica, Acoustic Guitar / David Provost : Bass, Keyboards / Jon Gerlach : Drums
