The Goats
The Goats were an American alternative hip hop trio from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"the M-A-the-double-D", Maxx Stoyanoff Williams), and Swayzack (Patrick Shupe). Earlier lineup formations during the 1991 era featured the sisters Love and Rucyl Mills and Oatie's brother Vinnie Angel.

Goat (band)
Goat is a Swedish alternative and experimental fusion music group. The band originates—according to its own publicity—from Korpilombolo, Norrbotten County. Their first album '' World Music'', was released on 20 August 2012 by Rocket Recordings, and in North America on the Sub Pop label. The group released their third studio album, ''Requiem'', in October 2016.

Supposedly, when Christian crusaders came and destroyed the village the surviving people fled and placed a curse on the town. This has been described as "a lovely story, if possibly not entirely rooted in reality." The band started playing music when they were children, as part of a local community tradition, and there have been many incarnations of Goat who have recorded over the last "30 or 40 ye ...
