Thee Headcoats was a band formed in
Chatham, Kent,
England in 1989, that was well known for its
garage rock sound, explicitly sticking to this style on almost all of their albums. The band's signature sound as well as their prolific writing has been attributed to
Billy Childish's love of simple, direct recording. The band has been on multiple labels including Billy's own
Hangman Records,
Damaged Goods and
Sub Pop.
