Spin releases new single “Smother” from upcoming split 7” with Davila 666! You can download “Smother” HERE!

“The Coathangers are building momentum. The Georgia punks’ third LP Larceny & Old Lace got a healthy dose of notice thanks to badass tracks like “Jaybird,” their homage to the late Jay Reatard, and now they’re already dropping some new music on us — today SPIN brings you “Smother,” the A-side of a split 7” with VICE’s demonic San Juan kids Davila 666. The release is part of Suicide Squeeze’s singles series, and it arrives April 17 in a very limited edition, with just 750 copies pressed (250 gold, 500 black) The cover was designed by Westin Glass of the Thermals, with whom the Coathangers toured Europe last year. Davila’s B-side is “No Crees Que Ya Cansa,” which translates to “Don’t You Think It’s Tiring” — based on these shots of the Puerto Rican rockers on the road, we can understand where they’re coming from.” - Spin

Creative Loafing asks The Coathangers about what they want out of the local Atlanta music scene for 2012.

“It’s super important for Atlanta bands to get out on the road and remind the rest of the country that we are rock ‘n’ rollers too! That will bring more attention to the city and give the scene some more credibility.

And all shows should have free pony rides and whiskey shots … Thank you.”

NYE 2012 with The Coathangers at The Star Bar in their hometown, Atlanta, GA. Gun Party and Street Violence also perform.
