Goblin Cock is an American heavy metal band from San Diego, California, United States, started by Rob Crow of the band Pinback. Musically, they play a form of doom metal/drone metal with rather unusual lyrical subjects, including pop culture songs about the films Godzilla's Revenge, Billy Jack, and the Snuffleupagus from the TV show Sesame Street. All members of the band have taken on stage names. The band is currently signed to Joyful Noise Recordings and has released two albums on the Absolutely Kosher record label. They went on tour for the first time in 2006 and played at the 20th annual South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX.{{cite web | last = Harmanci | first = Reyhan | title = SXSW: First Transmissions | publisher = SFGate.com | date = March 16, 2006 | url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=3&entry_id=3563 | access-date = 2006-12-20}} They also performed on September 15, 2005, at the College Music Journal's annual music festival.{{cite web | title = CMJ Artist Showcases: Day 2, 15 September 2005 | publisher = PopMatters | date = September 16, 2006 | url = http://www.popmatters.com/music/features/cmj2005/day2-showcases.shtml | access-date = 2006-12-20 }}
