The Coathangers – LIVE
“on Live, The Coathangers make the argument that they are one of the most vital garage punk bands in the game.” – Uproxx
“The Coathangers are the all-female punk band that can’t be stopped” – i-D
“ a startlingly great document of the sound of three powerhouse musicians locking in with one another. It’s the purest of Coathangers experiences – the reverberations of their voices and instruments bouncing off the walls of Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, Calif. amplifies the searing, not-to-be-fucked-with aesthetic at the core of the band’s music.” – KEXP
In their thirteen years of existence, Atlanta’s garage punks The Coathangers have cranked out five full-lengths and over a dozen singles, splits, and EPs. And while every Coathangers record has captured their buoyant turbulence and jagged euphoria, there’s always some degree of magic that gets lost when bands go into the studio. Whatever the source of that magic, The Coathangers have always wrangled a replication of that sweaty and sticky live feeling, but the time had come to properly document it.
LIVE captures the playful fervor of The Coathangers at their finest. Says guitarist/vocalist Julia Kugel, “it’s like our anthology… our entire career in 38 minutes,” from the slow-burn pop of “Captain’s Dead” off last year’s Parasite EP to the rabblerousing rocker “Tonya Harding” off their self-titled debut. “Gettin’ Mad and Pumpin’ Iron” sounds more unhinged here than when it first appeared on Scramble in 2009. Favorites like “Adderall” sound increasingly ragged and desperate as drummer Stephanie Luke belts out the lyrics on an adrenaline rush. Recent songs like bassist Meredith Franco’s Nosebleed Weekend highlight “Burn Me” feel injected with an urgency that pushes the post-punk number into an unruly anthem. The magic of The Coathangers lives in LIVE.
The Coathangers – Scramble (Reissue)
There is a definitive strength in the vernacular of The Coathangers’ songwriting. Anyone who has witnessed their live show would likely confirm the long-ago founded rumor that the band brings the party. But what the band brings to a greater degree, whether performing live or on record, is a beautiful exhaustion: a feeling both empty and full, like at the end of intense physical activity when your body feels melted yet brimming with energy.
The latest variant of this LP is pressed on yellow (out) and double mint (in) color vinyl. Limited edition of 1000 copies. Includes download coupon.
