Thee Headcoats

Heavens to Murgatroyd, Even! It's Thee Headcoats! (Already)

1991

Alternative Pop/Rock

This 1990 album, originally released on indie stalwart Sub Pop, established the basic template for Billy Childish's oeuvre for the next decade to come: simple garage riffage, snotty, smart lyrics, and a tinny, devil-may-care production that underscores the casual desperation behind the music.

The Dream Academy

A Different Kind of Weather

1990

Alternative Pop/Rock

Five years after "Life in a Northern Town," the band's third LP would prove to be their last. Co-produced by David Gilmour, who also plays on the album, its wistful, graceful pop is a worthwhile addition to the band's all too brief catalog, despite a bizarre, drum loop-heavy version of John Lennon's "Love."
