Energetic Rocker from These Arms Are Snakes

Pickings are slim at the record stores this week, unless you’re grabbing some leftovers from mini-Record Store Day. But, one thing I want to pick up is this new 7″ featuring These Arms are Snakes. For one, the group covers The Lost Sounds, which is one of those acts I wish people still cared about. On the other hand, the flip side of the 7″ has a cover of the Gun Club by Coathangers, who I’ve been obsessing about all year. Both songs, or covers, are right up my alley, so you can be sure that this will be in my little nerdy tote bag when I leave the shop. Will it be in yours?

The Coathangers Ready New 7″

November 4, 2014 nathan.lankford

If you haven’t read these pages since February, you might not be aware of how much I love the work of The Coathangers in 2014…not that the love wasn’t there beforehand, but it’s pretty strong this year after the release of their album Suck My Shirt. The three ladies have readied a brand new 7″ for Suicide Squeeze where they’ll be covering “Sex Beat” by The Gun Club. It’s just another example of their ability to add a gritty catchiness to anything they touch. You’ll also be able to hear a song from These Arms are Snakes, who are splitting the 7″ with the band; it hits stores on December 2nd.
