    Palma Violets return with 'Danger In The Club', an album which recalls the post-punk era and the likes of The Clash. That being said, it doesn't quite live up to those lofty aspirations and too often finds itself caught up in the chaos. Occasionally though, said chaos creates moments and tracks of sheer brilliance that make this a worthwhile listen; 'English Tongue' finishes the album withPalma Violets return with 'Danger In The Club', an album which recalls the post-punk era and the likes of The Clash.

    Unfortunately, however, the band too often drops the tuneful troubadour for the drunken singalong.

    Essentially, Palma Violets are revealed as a bit of a one-trick pony on Danger In the Club, with the novelty of their jangly pub-rock fading as quickly as the taste of the violet-flavored candy that they're named after.
