Thee Headcoatees / Thee Headcoats • Johnny Jack / Sufference Wharf 7"
This 1995 7" single brings together two essential sides of the Medway Garage Rock sound, with Thee Headcoatees opening with Johnny Jack, backed by Thee Headcoats with Sufference Wharf. Both tracks were written by Billy Childish, making this a neat pairing of two of the key bands from his raw, primitive Garage Rock world.
Johnny Jack and Sufference Wharf deliver the stripped-down guitar attack, pounding rhythms and deliberately rough-edged attitude associated with the Headcoats' sound and its female counterpart. Originally released in 1995, this is a classic slice of the era's uncompromising Garage Punk, with both bands delivering their own take on Childish's songwriting.
A highly desirable two-track snapshot of the Medway scene, featuring Thee Headcoatees on the A-side and Thee Headcoats on the flip. Pressed on 45 RPM vinyl, this is the perfect little slab of primitive Garage Rock mayhem for fans of Billy Childish and his various musical incarnations.
