Yet another side project of the ever prolific
Rob Crow (
Pinback,
Heavy Vegetable,
Thingy, Alpha Males,
Other Men,
Optiganally Yours,
Physics,
the Ladies,
Fantasy Mission Force,
Snotnose,
Advertising, Remote Action Sequence Project, Cthugha, and Altron Tube),
Goblin Cock show off
Crow's penchant for metal and comic book fantasy. Disguised in cloaks and shrouded in an element of mystery and irony, the full band roster is difficult to deduce since they're simply referred to as
Lord Phallus,
Bane Ass-Pounder,
King Sith Braindeath, and
Loki Sinjuggler. When the band's debut,
Bagged and Boarded, was released on Absolutely Kosher Records in 2005, it harbored attention quickly due to a X-rated cover that featured a goblin exposing his member, illustrated by Magic and Star Wars comic book artist
Mike Sutfin. The album earned three nominations for Plug Awards, and following a short tour, and between duties with
Pinback,
Crow and the gang readied a second album,
Come with Me If You Want to Live. The sequel was released in January of 2009, just as
GC went on the road for the Cock Across America Tour. ~ Jason Lymangrover, All Music Guide
