Droogs

Droogs are a garage rock and alternative rock group formed by Ric Albin on vocals, Roger Clay on guitar, Paul Motter on bass, and Kyle Raven on drums. The band is inspired by 1960s garage rock and goes through several personnel changes in the rhythm section during the 1970s.

Early releases and compilation

During the 1970s, the group releases six singles, which are later collected on the Anthology album. Their early work places them within the garage rock revival and related underground rock styles.

Line-up changes and scene association

The line-up settles in the early 1980s with David Provost, formerly of Dream Syndicate, on bass and keyboards, and Jon Gerlach on drums. In the mid-1980s, Droogs are associated with the Paisley Underground scene. They find their greatest success in Europe and sign to the German label Music Maniac in 1987.

Later years

The band releases the album Guerilla Love-In in 1991 and splits up in 1992.
