Look at his monster track record since his early beginnings and the twenty-five year old singer, songwriter, and guitarist has laid to rest a furious discography - six discs bare his name since 2008 plus a handful of band projects dating back to the middle of the last decade – and millions of miles logged on the road spreading and preaching his punk meets pop meets rock mantra/gospel. Side note: Who from here was there when a then-unknown Ty Segall rocked the Casa del Popolo in the middle of a five-band bill in 2009?
Cutting his teeth in a fervent and flourishing San Francisco (via Orange County) garage rock scene – check out if you will his early dabblings with Epsilons, Party Fowl, The Perverts and The Traditional Fools – Ty Segall learned the ins and outs of the game from his elders and peers, soaking in the sounds that have become his: a fuzzy psychedelic slew of loudness dipped in cauldrons of sweet sugary melodies and honeyed harmonies.
What sets him apart though from the countless other pretenders? Plenty. Let’s start with an unending enthusiasm and a genuine ‘fuck yah I’m playing music for a living’ attitude, coupled with mad compositional and six-string skills.
