The Coathangers

"Sure, great bands ascend beyond basements and handmade demos all the time, but the best acts start with little consideration for the outside world. The groups are their own insular world, where the reward comes from the process, not accolades and riches." The opening statement on the Coathangers official webpage, a blurb taken from the Suicide Squeeze records page. The label of which The Coathangers appear to hang their coats. (No pun).
March 2014 saw the release of the band's fourth full length album for Suicide Squeeze, the most critically and commercially received to date, and the band embarked with fellow Atlantans The Black Lips on the heels of this release , and continued on in 2014 with festival appearances and headlining dates. In 2013, they released their third album: Larceny and Old Lace (also on Suicide Squeeze) to positive reviews.

The band performed in 2006 as a joke. After playing a house show, they were asked to open for The Hiss based on the strength of their performance. The name was chosen for it's vulgarity, an irreverent take on abortions, though all the band members are pro-choice.
Their playfulness continues into their songs, with titles like "Don't Touch my Shit", "Nestle in My Boobies", and "Shut the Fuck Up."  They released a 7" record on Atlanta's Die Slaughterhaus" records, and their first full length self-titled on Rob's House records.
After taking time to tour, and putting out another 7" on Seattle based Suicide Squeeze Records, the Coathangers put out their second full length Scramble in April 2009. In 2011, the band released Larceny and Old Lace.
In 2013, it appeared the quartet became a trio, with Bebe Coathanger (Candice Jones) noticeablt absent from shows towards the later half of the year, or from their fourth album Suck My Shirt.
