The Coathangers 'Hurricane'/'Johnny' flexidisc is out today and can be orderd from our online store right HERE!
Limited to 300 copies, it's a transparent hand-numbered clear flexidisc, artwork photograph taken by Westin Glass of The Thermals fame. Basically it's pretty fucking cool and costs a mere £3.75 inc P&P.
After surprising ourselves and everyone else with the very successful release of XRAY001 (Trogons’ flexidisc single ‘Contina’), X-Ray Recordings are excited to finally announce our second release (ok, we had a false start on this one, but we’re serious now ok?). Casting our eyes across the pond, XRAY002 is with Atlanta riot grrrls The Coathangers. It's a limited edition hand numbered transparent flexidisc featuring tracks 'Hurricane' and 'Johnny' and is out on October 24th. It'll look a little something like this...
The Coathangers new album ‘Larceny & Old Lace’ was released back in June through the excellent Suicide Squeeze and floored us with its energy and attitude. Swinging frantically from ferocious to saccharine sweet, all the while showing an uncanny flair for writing thoroughly addictive hooks, The Coathangers do girl punk with more panache, style and humour than any of their peers. And it’s exactly that which has led us to commit two of our favourite tracks from the record to floppy plastic for your pleasure.
The gloriously gritty a-side ‘Hurricane’ will not fail to have you air drumming at your desk and is accompanied by this rather awesome video:
With XRAY001 very close to sold out now, we've decided we quite like this label-running lark. The Trogons flexidisc seems to have gone down rather well, so thank you to everyone who has helped us make it happen, to those who bought a copy, and of course to Trogons for being our guinea pigs!
Before we move on to XRAY002, here's a scan from NME. Woop!
Today is the day!! I'm sure you've seen on the news that there have been people camping outside and queuing at every Woolworths across the land for DAYS for a chance to lay their mits on a copy of XRAY001, Trogon's flexidisc single 'Contina'.
However, don't panic, you can still buy one from one of these places:
XRAY001 - Trogons' single 'Contina' is now available for pre-order.
Released on April 25th, the flexidisc is backed with 'Protest No. 678' and is available from Rough Trade, or we have a small number for sale in our own store here.
