We have already given you Freedom Fries, the Black Lips side of their forthcoming split single with The Coathangers.

Continue reading The Coathangers – Watch Your Back
These Arms Are Snakes released their first song in five years since the band’s abrupt dissolution which ended their seven-year run. Their bleary and blighted artcore version of Lost Sounds’ Energy Drink And The Long Walk Home was mastered and brought back to life this year as the B side on a split 7″ with ex tour and label mates, The Coathangers who in turn offer … Continue reading The Coathangers & These Arms Are Snakes Split Single

Spoiling you with five excellent videos this morning. I don’t know where you are, but we’ve got yet another day of dank, dreary, drizzly rain and I need something to brighten up my Friday. So, contrast and compare scrappy indie jangle from Such Hounds, gentle intricate harmonies from The Sea The Sea, tough, catchy garage from The Coathangers, fevered, intense pop from Rare Monks, and … Continue reading Videos of the Day: The Coathangers || Reverend Horton Heat || The Sea The Sea || Such Hounds || Rare Monk
The Coathangers have hit us with another brilliantly infectious tune, Springfield Cannonball, taken from forthcoming album Suck My Shirt which is out next month on Suicide Squeeze Records. Spiky garage pop punk of the very finest quality. You can pre-order the album here. . . Continue reading New From The Coathangers

For this latest record (their fourth long-player), the quartet have reduced to a trio and lost their keyboards. However, the sassy, infectious attitude remains the same as demonstrated by the first taste, and album … Continue reading The Coathangers – Suck My Shirt

The very marvellous Coathangers return to our speakers with a brilliant split 7″ single with Audacity on Suicide Squeeze Records. Their contribution is a track called Adderall, a propulsive, jittery, slice of post-punk agitation, borne in on the back of tribal drums and a perfect match for a commonly abused drug used to stimulate the central nervous system!
