Our Take

Ah, the Violent Femmes. The band that brought us classic tracks like "Blister in the Sun" and "Add It Up" have graced us with a 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of their self-titled debut album.

This reissue is like a fine wine, getting better with age. The raw energy and emotion of the original record is still present, but now with a few added bonuses.

The remastered tracks sound crisper than ever, making you feel like you're right there in the studio with them. And the unreleased demos and live recordings give you a glimpse into the band's creative process, showing just how much they've evolved over the years.

But that's not all. The package also includes a booklet with rare photos and liner notes, making it a must-have for any Violent Femmes fan.

Overall, this Deluxe Edition is a fitting tribute to a band that has stood the test of time. So grab your copy, crank up the volume, and let the Violent Femmes take you on a trip down memory lane. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Violent Femmes

Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Violent Femmes burst onto the music scene in the early 1980s with their unique blend of punk rock and folk influences. Fronted by the enigmatic Gordon Gano, the band quickly gained a loyal following with their infectious hooks, raw energy, and witty lyrics. Described by many as the godfathers of alternative rock, Violent Femmes have continued to push boundaries with their bold sound and fearless attitude. With Gano's distinctive vocals, Brian Ritchie's driving basslines, and Victor DeLorenzo's eclectic percussion, the band has created an iconic sound that is instantly recognisable. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1983, remains a cult classic to this day, featuring the anthemic hits "Blister in the Sun" and "Add It Up". The album's raw, unpolished production and quirky charm set it apart from the slick, overproduced pop music of the era, cementing Violent Femmes' status as musical mavericks. Over the years, the band has continued to evolve and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of country, blues, and even jazz into their music. Their live performances are legendary for their high energy and unpredictable nature, with Gano's impassioned vocals and Ritchie's virtuoso bass playing captivating audiences around the world. With a career spanning over four decades, Violent Femmes have proven themselves to be true icons of the music industry. Their rebellious spirit, unapologetic lyrics, and infectious melodies continue to inspire fans old and new, making them a force to be reckoned with in the world of alternative rock.
