Charged up by the break from pop's feudal nature that punk offered, inspired by its ability to eradicate exterior and self-imposed constraints, The Raincoats were one of the few groups of the time to understand the true power that lay behind the limitless possibilities available in the wake of punk's initial splash. And they grasped it at an instinctual, emotional level, instead of the more fashionable theory driven or confrontational routes; operating in a place that was surprisingly free of outside influences. The result is a work that, defined solely by the creative urges of its makers, dwells in a tradition that's uniquely its own.
