    Consistently, from beginning to end, on Suck My Shirt, The Coathangers have shown themselves to be songwriters of real ability.

    Simply put, their sound has organically reached a more developed state. Each song brings something new to the table with few tunes just bleeding together.

    It's well-recorded, well-written, and teeming with both force and emotional depth.

    There are certainly traces of the band's past traits, except this time they err more on the side of being endearing quirks than being the slightly off-putting extras they once were.

    They're as committed as ever to rocking and having a good time, and that's something that thankfully seems to be getting even stronger the more they figure out what they're doing.

    After the band’s album-by-album leaps in musical ability and acumen, it’s no surprise finding this much talent behind the band’s jokey exterior, but when they employ it in fresh ways, The Coathangers can sound like an entirely different band.

    The attitude's still present and correct, but there's also a nagging, Pixies-like surf melodies of Drive and the serrated riffs of Springfield Cannonball. [Jan 2015, p.122]

    Suck My Shirt isn’t a huge departure for a band that likes their place in the garage, but it’s enough to keep fans busy without dulling the edges.
