The first biography of legendary and influential British punk band The Raincoats, who are long revered by those in the international punk scene.
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 “a new legacy of punk” and arguably became the most pioneering female band of the post-punk era while inspiring a new wave of DIY and queercore artists. Introduced by Kurt Cobain to a new generation in the 1990s, The Raincoats were invited to tour with Nirvana, and were known as the “godmothers of grunge” and "godmothers of Riot Grrrl" before eventually becoming label mates with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Hole, Bikini Kill, and Elastica. In the 21st-century, The Raincoats singularly inspired Bikini Kill to reform after a 20-year hiatus.
