#398 The Raincoats, 'The Raincoats' (1979)

I’m so surprised I’d never ever heard of this band. Post-punk all-female band, The Raincoats, along with bands like The Slits, were pioneers in punk and post punk music. Showing females, old & young (and men too, of course), that punk music is not reserved for men exclusively. While not commercially successful, The Raincoats not only paved the way for little girls to form punk bands, but also one Kurt Cobain, an artist who was so affected and inspired by their music.
