Thee Headcoatees recently made a surprising comeback after a 26-year break, delighting fans with the release of their seventh studio album, “Man-Trap.” The all-female garage band, formed in Kent, England in 1991, consists of members Holly Golightly, Kyra LaRubia, Ludella Black, and “Bongo” Debbie Green. Known for their distinct sound, the group initially disbanded in 1999 to pursue individual projects, but have now reunited to gift listeners with new music.
“Man-Trap,” featuring 14 songs including new originals and covers of tracks by iconic rock bands like The Rolling Stones and the Ramones, is now available for streaming. The album showcases the band’s raw talent and infectious energy, making it a must-listen for fans of rock music with a twist.
Originally founded by Billy Childish as a support group for his band Thee Headcoats, Thee Headcoatees’ early music was written by Childish himself, with songs that did not quite fit his band’s style. Their debut album, “Girlsville,” released in 1991, set the stage for a series of successful albums, including “Have Love Will Travel,” “Ballad Of The Insolent Pup,” “Bozstik Haze,” and “Punk Girls.” These albums, along with their earlier releases, are available on popular streaming platforms like Spotify, allowing new and old fans alike to experience their music.
As individual artists, each member of Thee Headcoatees has continued to make their mark on the music industry over the past 26 years. Holly Golightly embarked on a successful solo career, releasing over 10 albums and collaborating with renowned bands like The Greenhornes and The White Stripes. Kyra Laubia and Debbie Green lent their vocals to The A Lines, while Debbie Green and Ludella Black are currently part of Ye Nuns. With diverse musical projects and collaborations under their belts, the members of Thee Headcoatees have stayed connected to their passion for music.
“Man-Trap” marks a triumphant return for Thee Headcoatees, showcasing their evolution as artists and the enduring appeal of their unique sound. Fans can now listen to the album on Spotify, immersing themselves in the band’s signature blend of garage rock and punk influences. As a testament to their enduring legacy, Thee Headcoatees’ latest release is a reminder of the timeless power of music to captivate and inspire.
