New album, Hotel Last Resort The Folk punkrock veterans will release a new studio album. Dubbed Hotel Last Resort represents Violent Femmes’ tenth album overall and first since We Can Do Anything from 2016. The forthcoming collection spans a total of 13 songs, most of which feature additional instrumentation from Violent Femmes’ longtime backing band Horn of Dilemma. Violent Femmes recruited iconic Television guitarist Tom Verlaine for their surreal new song “Hotel Last Resort. There are also two covers included — “I’m Not Gonna Cry”, originally by Greek rock super stars Pyx Lax, and a rendition of Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America”. Additionally, there’s a new version of “I’m Nothing”, from the group’s 1994 record, New Times. It comes with new vocals from pro skateboarder Stefan Janoski, a longtime fan who considers the song one of his all-time favorites. In collaboration with Janoski, Violent Femmes have also designed a new Nike shoe inspired by the track’s lyrics.
