Thee Headcoatees turn their trademark raw Garage Rock attack towards Punk with Punk Girls, a twelve-track collection packed with attitude, energy and plenty of primitive guitar noise. Featuring the four distinct voices of Kyra, Ludella, Debbie and Holly, the album showcases the different personalities that made Thee Headcoatees such an entertaining part of the Medway Garage scene.
The title track Punk Girl gets things underway before the band tear through a selection of originals and choice Punk covers. Highlights include Don't Wanna Hold Your Hand, Billy B. Childish, You're Right, I'm Wrong and Punk Boy, alongside spirited versions of Teenage Kicks by The Undertones, The Ramones' Pinhead, Cara-Lin and Plastic Bertrand's Ça Plane Pour Moi.
With Zig-Zag, Sticks & Stones and Shadow completing the set, Punk Girls delivers twelve short, sharp blasts of Garage Punk energy. Originally released in the band's catalogue and reissued here on vinyl, it's another gloriously rough-edged collection from Thee Headcoatees.
