Whilst the city of Atlanta may have a stake on the sound of trap music, there is a bubbling punk scene that is happening beneath the surface. One of the groups that are at the forefront of the punk circuit in the ATL are the threesome known as The Coathangers. Forming in 2006, these rockers have released a number of 7″ records as well as three LPs over their decade span. With their forthcoming Parasite EP out June 30th via Suicide Squeeze, they have shared one of the songs taken from the release entitled ‘Captain’s Dead’. A spicy delivery in content, sing-a-long hooks and clever instrumentation makes this another winner for the trio.
Touching on the track, singer and guitarist Julia Kugel wrote:
“Easy come, easy go; what you reap is what you sow. Sometimes people that you trust fail you miserably by falling victim to their own ego. They start believing their own hype, fancy themselves a leader, but they lead nothing. It’s based on a personal experience, but this track has taken on a larger meaning given our current political weather. It’s feeling stormy – the ships made out of shit will sink themselves.”
The Coathangers will also embark on a European tour beginning in the UK on the 12th of May. Check the listing below for dates and venues.
