Shouting Out Loud: Lives of the Raincoats

Shouting Out Loud: Lives of the Raincoats

The first biography of legendary and influential British punk band The Raincoats, who are long revered by those in the international punk scene. Ā 

The Raincoats were formed in London in 1977 as an experimental punk band synonymous with their indie label, Rough Trade. They went on to create what Vivien Goldman called ā€œa new legacy of punkā€ and arguably became the most pioneering female band of the post-punk eraĀ while inspiring a new wave of DIY and queercore artists. Introduced by Kurt Cobain to a new generation in the 1990s, The RaincoatsĀ were invited to tourĀ with Nirvana, and were known as the ā€œgodmothers of grungeā€Ā and ā€œgodmothers of Riot Grrrlā€Ā before eventually becoming label mates with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Hole,Ā Bikini Kill,Ā and Elastica. In the 21st-century, The Raincoats singularly inspired Bikini Kill to reform after a 20-year hiatus. Ā Ā 

Featuring exclusive interviews and brand new photos from the Raincoats’ archives, as well as reproduced ephemera,Ā Shouting Out LoudĀ is the first ever biography of this groundbreaking band and shows how this pioneering group of women paved the way for those that followed in their footsteps. Additionally, the book features original interviews with members of Sonic Youth, Hole, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Big Joanie, Liz Phair, and many more.Ā  Ā Da Capa

Meticulously researched and sweeping in scope,Ā Shouting Out LoudĀ is the must-have account of a band that became the linchpin of feminist music in the 20th century.
