A mid-1960s New York underground group noted for primitive, noisy recordings that anticipated punk and influenced later experimental rock. Original lineup mentioned in reviews includes Jim McCarthy, Larry Kessler, Paul Thornton and Jay Dillon.

Formed in the mid-1960s in New York; released Contact High With The Godz (1966) and Godz 2 (1967). Known for raw, minimal playing, free-form and 'freak-out' approaches; often described in contemporary and later commentary as influential on garage and proto-punk scenes.

The reviews portray The Godz as a noisy, primitive, and influential 1960s New York underground band. Their 1966 Contact High album is hailed for its originality and proto-punk attitude, while Godz 2 is noted for free-form experimentalism. Not for rock purists; recommended loud listening.

For:Fans of garage rock, psychedelic experimenters, proto-punk enthusiasts and listeners who appreciate raw, primitive recordings.

 When the Godz decided to record this album, they probably had never touched their instruments before, as they were repeatedly labeled as "the worst band in history"!
