NapalmBrain Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 http://store.suicidesqueeze.net/collections/frontpage/products/nosebleed-weekend?variant=14908526723 + Pre-order will ship on April 4, 2016+ First 150 customers that order vinyl will receive a "Nosebleed Weekend" first-aid kit. The custom first-aid kit includes: autographed surgical mask, tampon, condom, button, scratch and sniff sticker, lollipop and custom bandaid dispenser. + First 200 pre-orders (regardless of format) come with a folded 18x24 poster When The Coathangers started up in 2006, their aspirations were humble. “I think all bands in their early twenties start for fun,” says guitarist/vocalist Julia Kugel when talking about their early years of cheeky no-wave and irreverent garage rock. But Julia and her bandmates Meredith Franco (bass/vocals) and Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals) were serious about their craft, and that combination of modest outside expectations and absolute dedication to their music made for exhilarating live shows and contagious records. Ten years later, The Coathangers are still going strong, and while their palette has expanded over the years to touch upon hip-shakin’ classic rock, soulful country ballads, and golden oldies pop, their primary attack strategy still relies heavily on the jagged hooks and boisterous choruses of their formative years. Their fifth album Nosebleed Weekend retains all the devil-may-care magnetism and serrated instrumentation of their debut, but it flourishes with a decade’s worth of songwriting discipline and chemistry. Nosebleed Weekend kicks off with “Perfume”, a song that marries sultry pop vocals with toothy guitar riffs in a manner that would make Ann and Nancy Wilson proud. It’s hard to imagine The Coathangers writing a song this accessible in their early years, but in 2016 it fits perfectly into their canon. From there the band launches into “Dumb Baby”, which harkens back to the gritty neo-garage rock of Murder City Devils. Longtime fans who still clamor for their brash post-punk angle will be immediately satiated by “Squeeki Tiki”. And after hearing the noisy loud-quiet-loud bombast of “Excuse Me?” it’s no wonder that Kim Gordon has become an outspoken fan of the band. It’s an eclectic album inspired by life on the road, lost loved ones, and Kugel’s recent move to Southern California. “We always say that each record is a snapshot of our life at the time,” Kugel says. “As far as style... it's just what came out of us at that point.” So whether it’s the foreboding garage rock of the title track, the post-punk groove of “Burn Me”, the stripped-down pop of “I Don’t Think So”, or the dynamic grunge of “Down Down”, The Coathangers command their songs with passion and authority. The first LP pressing is limited to 3000 (1000 blood splatter vinyl, 1000 bruisy vinyl, 1000 too bright vinyl) copies. Digital download card included.

birdwell Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Interested in hearing how this songs sounds akin to MCD. Love this band live....but have never really enjoyed their recorded material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've really loved everything they have done, I'm sad my paypal is empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Shit. I hope I was in the first 150. Anyone order before me? What was your order #? 2028 here. Birdwell - oddly enough I was really really into their live shows maybe 3-4 years ago when they were just getting drunk and having fun. It's a lot more serious/about the music now and not quite as fun, but I still dig the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Also, holy shit seems crazy that the first pressing is 3000 copies. They sold through multiple presses of the last 2 I think last time it was 1000 initially, makes sense to me. Also just means if I lag ill still probably get the variant I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shenanigans Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Criminal Records is doing a RSD version of this with an R. Land cover. They haven't said how many, but the Coathangers are playing there after all the RSD activities and buying the album gets you a ticket to get in so I'm assuming close to 300. I'm going to be out of town on Saturday, but happy to stop by on Sunday or Monday and grab these for anyone that wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
