Bangers Vs. Fuckers

Style

The Guardian compared the album to music by The White Stripes and Pussy Galore but "lower fidelity" and "lower rent". AllMusic compared the music to that released through Estrus Records.

The vocals by John Dwyer have been described as so "murky and distorted it's a struggle to make out what he's singing about" by The Guardian. AllMusic echoed this statement, noting that only the occasional "Yeah!" or "Baby!" is discernible.

Release

Bangers Vs. Fuckers was released by Narnack Records on January 27, 2004. The album was Coachwhips first album released in the United Kingdom.

The album was remastered and re-issued through John Dwyer's label Castle Face on April 20, 2015.

Reception

The Guardian gave a positive review of the album describing it as "short, sharp and to the point, it's all over in 18 minutes. More records should be like this: fun." Playlouder gave the album a four out of five rating, describing it as "primal and raunchy without for one minute leaning toward anything retro." AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, noting the album as "destructive dance music that's challenging and visceral." The Independent boasted that the music had more to it than it seemed, stating that Bangers Vs. Fuckers was "a lot more involved here than a mere full-frontal assault on your speakers. Pitting superfast garage against amphetamine-paced punk, they manage to create a strange, almost danceable beat." Uncut gave the album a four out of five, stating that it was "an astonishing whirlwind of white keyboard noise and maxi-fuzzed guitar" and "Brutal, but damned impressive."
