The Goatmen

The Goatmen were an alternative rock band that formed in Easton, Pa., in 1987 and were active for nearly 10 years. Primary members John and Marty began as a duo and performed under various names before settling on The Goatmen. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, they appeared regularly at several popular alternative-rock clubs in New York City and Hoboken, N.J. The Goatmen's self-titled debut LP was released in 1989 by independent label Noiseville Records. In 1993, The Goatmen self-released their sophomore, cassette-only album, "Destroyer," which featured contributions from additional musicians and became a local cult favorite. The duo expanded to a quartet for a series of performances in support of "Destroyer." After their final performance in 1996, The Goatmen disbanded. In September 2022, John and Marty announced that a 30th anniversary digital remix of "Destroyer" was being prepared for release on major streaming music services, accompanied by exclusive merchandise.
