Forming in 1978, Soggy started with 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. 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. The French label Memoire Neuve released their record in an edition of just 500 copies and is now long out of print, with copies of that LP and the single in hot demand in collector circles, with the single selling for over $200. The release on Outer Battery is the full LP, including the tracks from the Waiting for the war single!
