The Raincoats as photographed by Janette Beckman for Rough Trade records while rehearsing in London for their 1979 debut album. As the photographer recalls: "...I went to shoot them at their rehearsal space, but if you look at that picture, you can see that it's a toilet. They were literally in the bathroom practicing. It's just so punk and the place is kind of a wreck."

Ana da Silva and Gina Birch formed the group in 1977 after seeing the Slits perform. As Birch stated in an interview, "It was as if suddenly I was given permission. It never occurred to me that I could be in a band. Girls didn’t do that. But when I saw The Slits doing it, I thought, ‘This is me. This is mine.’ Palmolive, the Slits' ex-drummer at the time, actually joined them in '78, performing with the line-up that played live and recorded the debut album.

A weird fact for this all-girl band that was influential for so many female artists, is that it actually took a guy to help younger generations re-appreciate them and that's why the Raincoats somehow always seem to be mentioned along with Curt Cobain, since his enthusiasm for their music brought them back from obscurity in the '90s after citing them as one of his favourite bands and writing the liner notes for the reissues of their albums.

If you ask me, I think ol' Johnny Rotten was spot on when he said that: "The Raincoats offered a completely different way of doing things, as did X-Ray Spex and all the books about punk have failed to realise that these women were involved for no other reason than that they were good and original".

✩📜🏚️Series Review:

⋆ Enemies to lovers

⋆ Forbidden love

⋆ Different protagonists each book

“The Four Horsemen” quartet ruined me for other books.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Thalassa’s unique undertaking of writing a romance novel for each of the four horsemen of the apocalypse blew me away! Thalassa characterizes each of the four horsemen so well and successfully makes them distinctive from one another.

Additionally, I really love the leading ladies in this series. All four women are strong in their own way and shaped by their vastly different pasts. I was completely captivated by their respective storylines and the ways in which they were romanced by their horsemen.

I hope that Thalassa will consider returning to this world in the future or writing other post-apocalyptic romance novels because I. NEED. MORE!
