The Godz "The Godz (Rock Candy Remastered)"

The Godz are an American hard rock band from Columbus, Ohio, that formed in 1976.

Formed in 1976, the band conceived their moniker only to later learn of a band from New York City already known as the Godz. A monetary settlement allowed them to keep their name. The Godz did not have a recording contract when they hit the road with Cheap Trick in 1977. The band released its debut album, The Godz, the next year on Millennium Records. They played on the road with Angel. "Godz are macho, mean biker boys," wrote Sylvie Simmons in 1978. "Their songs are about dope and bikes and rock and sex. They're loud, brash, crude, but a bloody good rock band."

The Godz is the self-titled debut album by American hard rock band The Godz (from Columbus, Ohio), released in 1978. It contains their most notable radio hit, "Gotta Keep a Running".

The album was reissued and remastered on CD by UK-based company Rock Candy Records.
