Quirky, catchy, innovative, and explosive, the Femmes made what was probably the first acoustic punk-folk-rockabilly-New Wave document for the dispossessed. The formula is as ingenious as it is simple--a trio playing guitar, bass, and drums runs through songs of adolescent angst, vulnerability, and social\/sexual frustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to their distinctive, minimal sound--guitarist Gordon Gano's rhythmic chord progressions filled out by Brian Ritchie's fluid bass and Victor De Lorenzo's aggressive brushwork on the drums--it is Gano's singing and superb songwriting that earmarks VIOLENT FEMMES. For the most part, Gano sounds like a psychotic, self-pitying, hormonally crazed teenager as he whines, stutters, and yowls his way through these remarkable songs. This two-disc deluxe edition includes rarities and live tracks, in addition to the paranoid \"Kiss Off,\" the slinky \"Gone Daddy Gone,\" and the lusty \"Add It Up.\" And, of course, anyone who was a teenager in the '80s knows the glorious \"Blister in the Sun,\" a seemingly permanent staple of dance venues across the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-06-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-06-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Violent Femmes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53460579319992,"sku":"RI1WPC-5OUT-4F","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/violent-femmes-violent-femmes_y5XMX.jpg?v=1778683724","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/violent-femmes-violent-femmes","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
