Style

The Guardian compared the album to music by The White Stripes and Pussy Galore but "lower fidelity" and "lower rent".[1] AllMusic compared the music to that released through Estrus Records.[2]

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.[1] AllMusic echoed this statement, noting that only the occasional "Yeah!" or "Baby!" is discernible.[2]

Release

Bangers Vs. Fuckers was released by Narnack Records on January 27, 2004.[3] The album was Coachwhips first album released in the United Kingdom.[4]

The album was remastered and re-issued through John Dwyer's label Castle Face on April 20, 2015.[5]

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."[1] Playlouder gave the album a four out of five rating, describing it as "primal and raunchy without for one minute leaning toward anything retro."[6] AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, noting the album as "destructive dance music that's challenging and visceral."[2] 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."[7] 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."[4]
