BIOGRAPHY

Ty Segall Band formed in 2009 around prolific garage rocker Ty Segall, joined by Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart, and Emily Rose Epstein. The group is credited with a single studio album, Slaughterhouse, released June 26, 2012 on In the Red Records, built from a sound pulling on the Nuggets garage comps, The Stooges, The Troggs, T. Rex, Hawkwind, and Black Sabbath. The band's genres span noise rock, garage psych, and garage punk. They disbanded in 2015, the same year a live document, Live in San Francisco, arrived on Drag City as an LP, CD, and digital release.

WHY THEY'RE COOL

Slaughterhouse arrived in 2012 amid a wave of rock bands getting noisy again (Cloud Nothings, The Men, Screaming Females), and Beats Per Minute singled it out as a cut above, calling it one of the most vital and animal rock records of its moment. That ferocity came from Segall leading Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart, and Emily Rose Epstein through a record steeped in Stooges-grade abrasion and Sabbath-heavy low end, a one-off studio statement that still got a victory lap via the 2015 live release on Drag City.
