The Coathangers - Bimbo



  The last time Coathangers featured on here was with Parasite (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-coathangers-parasite.html), a song that was so good it finished in the Just Some Punk Songs Top 10 of 2017. As you may know by now, they've a new album titled The Devil You Know scheduled for release on March 8th on Suicide Squeeze Records. If the teaser song at the bottom of this update is anything to go by, it's going to be a definite winner.

  As well as the album, the band will be touring America's west and east coast throughout the first part of the year and you can check dates on Facebook :  https://www.facebook.com/TheCoathangersATL/

  The Devil You Know is their 6th album and it's a record that "takes their established take on vitriolic punk, playful house-party anthems and heartworn ballads and melds them into a new sound that retains all their former live show glories while revealing a new level of songwriting and nuance." You can pre order the album (and read the rest of the record company blurb) here :  https://thecoathangers.bandcamp.com/album/the-devil-you-know

  And now to the album's opening track, a pop song with jagged edges. A punk song with sugary sweet melodies. It's still very early in the year but I think we could be looking at another appearance in the Just Some Punk Songs annual chart. This is Bimbo...
