Lead single “Country Death Song” and “I Hear the Rain” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered […]

There is no doubt that Violent Femmes has talent. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Violent Femmes energies, virtually a rebirth. It’s natural for Violent Femmes to take a stab at ‘Prove My Love’ considering her long-professed love for Madonna. Violent Femmes is one of my favourite bands of all time.
