Described (by NOW magazine) as “…the bastard sons of Stiv Bators playing punk rock n roll from beyond the valley of the (New York) Dolls,” these sleazy Canadians return with their new (Jack Endino-produced) full-length (and first for Sub Pop). Their self-titled debut on the Die Young Stay Pretty imprint was hailed as one of the five best punk records of the ’90s by Hit List magazine, and The Violent Years finds them raising the bar yet again. The Enhanced CD includes live Video of Shooting Stars at CBGB!
