At last, The Coathangers have released the album with which I can faithfully annoy my neighbors at an astonishingly high volume. I initially came across this group via the release of Suck My Shirt and a couple solid live shows. Needless to say, after my thorough exposure, I was sold. After hearing that another album was in the works, I waited patiently for The Coathangers to put out this superb release. Nosebleed Weekend was produced in Valentine Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California. The studio had been closed since 1979, but recently reopened. There, The Coathangers worked with producer Nic Jodin and released their fifth studio album with Suicide Squeeze. To my excitement, Nosebleed Weekend picks up where Suck My Shirt left off, making for a logical progression between the two albums. It has a rock n’ roll sound that one could pull from the Girls in the Garage comps of the ’60s, but adds a contemporary flair that derives from the no-bullshit attitude of the groups that defined the riot grrrl movement. More importantly, though, The Coathangers maintain their infamous, whiskey-soaked vocals and dirty, garage-meets–post-punk sound while emphasizing Nosebleed Weekend’s move to a more mature groove.
