Description
The Violent Femmes' 1983 self-titled debut is one of the most groundbreaking, important, influential, and enjoyable albums ever released, a musical testament that speaks to all dispossessed souls then, now, and probably forever. Influenced greatly by Jonathan Richman's modern lovers, the Femmes' minimalist sound pitted Gano's low-volume electric guitar against Brian ritchie's acoustic bass guitar and Victor de Lorenzo's ashcanlike homemade drum kit - all of which only served to make Gano's angst-ridden adolescent tirades more arresting. Highlights here are the rockabillyish 'Gone Daddy Gone,' the snotty 'Kiss Off,' and the emblematically nervous 'Blister In The Sun.'
