The Raincoats formed in London in 1977.

If you're unfamiliar with their work please blast their debut album (Rough Trade, 1979 -- later repressed by Kill Rock Stars) immediately and we'll take it from there.*

A completely influential band who still sound ahead of their time.

RIYL: grunge * post-punk * riot grrrl * no wave * music pioneers

* you should also blast their three other albums at your very earliest convenience
