Violent Femmes

The live recording of 'Prove My Love' captures Violent Femmes at a pivotal moment in their career. By July 1991, they had just released their third studio album, 'Why Do Birds Sing?', which showcased their evolution from raw, acoustic punk to a more refined sound. The concert at The Town and Country Club, part of the BBC Radio 1 'In Concert' series, exhibits the energy and charisma that defined their performances. It's fascinating to note that the Femmes gained significant popularity in the UK during this period, helping to solidify their cult status abroad. This performance not only illustrates their growth as artists but also marks a time when their distinct blend of folk-punk was gaining even more traction in the music scene.
