"Black Coats & Bandages" is the second full length album by Irish-Australian band Clann Zú. This album has much sparser instrumentation and less electronic influence than Clann Zú's previous album, "Rua", and a heavier use of the Irish language.

"Black Coats & Bandages" explores similar issues as "Rua", but also touches on themes of imperialism, war, organized religion, and personal struggles.
