Henry's Dress (Almost Complete) Discography





Henry's Dress was a raw & raucous band who made short, pop-driven songs about adolescent romance (or the lack thereof) and emitted a burgeoning, flexing sound, sometimes undescriptively referred to as being of the "garage" genre. Low fuzzy basslines, ultra-treble distorted guitar chords, and everything drenched in feedback, with flowing waves of almost undiscernable, beautifully melodic vocals (sometimes girl, sometimes boy), they made some of the greatest music I have ever heard. Please enjoy!

THIS!
has everything above conveniently packaged in one husky download.



I only ripped the split with Flake and the Cool Beans! 7". The rest was collected from various places, the most prominent being icoulddietomorrow, and Slumberland Records.
Special thanks to the anonymous individual who posted the live set on the now defunct you shall know our discography!

*To make this a COMPLETE discography all I need is the song "Pig" from the Terra X Records comp. "Love and Hate". If you have it, PLEASE send it my way! Also, if you have any Henry's Dress records you want to trade or sell (specifically the 10"), get a hold of me. Thanks!!

  2. I can't believe I'm just finding this now. I *knew* there had to be some live Henry's Dress material floating around besides the Cool Beans tracks, and here it is. Thanks so much for posting this! I assume you already have "Pig," but if not, give a holler.

  4. Thanks so much for uploading this! I was bereft when I found that the 10" is going for $100 most places. Slumberland should really re-release these!
