The Raincoats are a British punk band. Ana da Silva and Gina Birch formed the band in 1977 while they were students at Hornsey College Of Art in London. They were inspired after they saw The Slits perform live earlier that year.
The Raincoats signed to the label Rough Trade and the band released three albums.
The band recorded Moving in 1984. Tired of constant touring and "pulling in different musical directions", the band members began work on solo projects shortly after the album's release. The band split up in 1984.
The Raincoats reformed in 1994 due to renewed interest in the band.

Stinky Toys were a French punk band from Paris, formed in 1976.
In 1976 the band took part in the 100 Club Punk Special (sometimes referred to as the 100 Club Punk Festival).
The 100 Club Punk Special was a two-day event held at the 100 Club venue in Oxford Street, London on 20 and 21 September 1976.
Stinky Toys shared the stage with Subway Sect, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Chris Spedding & the Vibrators, The Damned and Buzzcocks.
Their 100 Club performance was met with mixed reviews. The band had been praised for their aesthetics, but their music performance was questioned. Elli Medeiros famously stormed of stage as a result of the crowd’s indifference to their musical creations. Despite this Stinky Toys were signed by Polydor in 1977, originally to an international deal.
The band first released a vinyl single in 1977 with "Boozy Creed" on the A-side with "Driver Blues" on the B-side. The single was met with mixed reviews, especially in the United Kingdom. These reviews convinced Polydor to abandon the release of Stinky Toys debut album outside France.
The band split up in 1979.
Band members:
Elli Medeiros - vocals
Bruno Carone - guitar
Denis Quilliard - guitar
Albin Deriat - bass
Hervé Zénouda - drums.
