Frank Black is a prodigy - there's no other word to describe someone who so
relentlessly releases great record after great record. First as frontman for
the Pixies, then solo, and now, half a dozen albums into his work with the
Catholics, the former Black Francis shows no signs of slowing down. Nobody
has done such a great job of updating country music either. And I've said it
before, but nobody else, aside from maybe Mike Ness or Hank Williams III,
has managed to release so many country albums and still remain cool. Black
is a model of how to age gracefully after helping define music for a
generation of indie alternative bands - he's fat, bald and still kickin'
ass, singing about babes and booze, drugs and the devil. Add a talented
support cast, write some killer tunes that had me singing along after only
the second listen ("Horrible Day" and "Manitoba" are standouts, and you've
got a recipe for Show Me Your Tears. Releasing all your albums in Canada on a Canadian indie label is just icing on the cool cake. Kudos to Frank for
showing us how it should be done.

They do loads of music stuff. they also reviewed the two albums last year, but I think that was in SBC Skataboard, their sister publication. They are still considering doing an interview with Frank when he returns to Canada next.
