San Francisco-based garage-rock whiz kid Ty Segall has released a handful of exceptional solo records over the past few years, and he's already got one album – Hair, a collaborative effort with White Fence – out this year. On June 26th, Segall will release his second 2012 effort, Slaughterhouse (In the Red Records), which finds him recording for the first time with his touring band of fellow thrashers, Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart and Emily Rose Epstein. The record will be released under the moniker the Ty Segall Band, and you can download the album cut "I Bought My Eyes," a tasty scorcher with guitar riffs firing on all cylinders, now.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
