Since the release of their seminal early records, the 'godmothers of grunge' have been revered by punk, queer, feminist and indie pop artists alike. The Raincoats reimagined the nature of experimental music and DIY design and went on to inspire Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and an entire generation of Riot Grrrl and queercore musicians.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShouting Out Loud: Lives of the Raincoats tells their astonishing story in three extraordinary lives. In The Raincoats' first life, they recorded three full-length albums now regarded as classics and were the first punk band to play behind the Iron Curtain in Warsaw. Nearly a decade later in 1992, the band's second life took off when Kurt Cobain's love of the band catalysed their renaissance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2001, The Raincoats emerged from their five-year hiatus into their third and ongoing iteration marked by performances in art museums such as New York's MoMA, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and London's National Portrait Gallery. The Raincoats have and continue to be a singular phenomenon and influence for so many. Featuring exclusive interviews and never-before-seen images from The Raincoats' archive, Shouting Out Loud is the ultimate, authorised biography of this pioneering group of women - and the must-have account of a legendary band that holds a vital place in twentieth and twenty-first century sonic history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Audrey Golden has captured the feeling of young artists changing the rules and subsequently the world' THURSTON MOORE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'One of the key music books of the year . . . \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo read it is to be reminded anew of the sheer power and originality of The Raincoats' music' OUTSIDE LEFT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 25 Feb 2027, Orion \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781399624879\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 400 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58222228439422,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781399624879.jpg?v=1792070318","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/shouting-out-loud-lives-of-the-raincoats-by-audrey-golden","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
