Outer Battery to release cult album by Soggy

Outer Battery is due to release the cult, self titled album by French band SOGGY. The 11-track album was previously pressed by Memoire Neuve records, limited to just 500 copies - meaning the album is now a sought after purchase by serious collectors.

Formed in 1978, SOGGY started out playing covers of Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, MC5 and the Stooges but quickly began writing their own songs and developed a unique style, mixing hard rock and punk rock in a Stooges vein. They christened their style "hard wave". In April of ’81 the Waiting for the War 7” was released and a video was shot for French TV. After more than 100 concerts the band split in July of 1982 but their cult status has only grown over the years.

More recently, frontman, Beb, has returned to the stage - for the first time in over 35 years! The Shrine recorded a cover of Waiting For The War which caught the Frenchman's attention and the two joined forces for the first time on stage in Paris last year.

Of the album's re-release, the band commented: "We’re stoked that the album will finally be released after all these years, and pleasantly surprised that despite the intervening years there’s still a demand to hear these songs."
