Filth Is Eternal have shared a brand-new cover of Violet by Hole.
The Seattle punk trio have tackled the classic opener from
Live Through This, with vocalist Lis Di Angelo enthusing that FIE have “always
loved Hole”, and have been interested in performing this track in particular.
Lis adds that Hole leader Courtney Love “has always been
fearless and uncompromising. The lyrics suggest resentment, violence, and the
sexual exploitation of a person under the guise of romance. As the track moves
forward, she harnesses her frustrations, finds a way to gain control, to break
through, and does so with raw energy and power.
“It’s a song many can relate to, and we can sum it all up with
the track, between the lyrics and the arrangement, is fucking brilliant and
inspiring and an energy we wanted to tap into.”
