Violent Femmes dropped its ninth studio LP, We Can Do Anything, earlier this year. The album features the singles, “Memory” and “Issues” and has received quite a bit of positive feedback.

“The Wisconsin punk-folk trio’s first album in 18 years occasionally summons the warped whimsy of their classic self-titled 1983 debut – only updated for ruined teens hitting their fifties.” – Rolling Stone
