CSS La Liberación

CSS caught some flack in 2008 upon the release of Donkey, which critics blasted for not having the same tenacity of their acclaimed self-titled debut. But in prepping the release of their third album, 2011's La Liberación, it looked like things were looking up for the typically rowdy Brazilian band. In particular, they inked a deal with Cooperative Music. Also, frontwoman Lovefoxxx announced that her mantra for the record was "Rip Shit." In other words, it would appear that the band was returning to the riotous energy that filled their 2006 debut.
