Violent Femmes

Violent Femmes

Acoustic instruments played with serrated punk energy. A twitchy, minimalist masterpiece of teenage neurosis and percussive folk-rock friction.

April 1983 · Craft Recordings

A twitchy, high-strung blend of teenage horniness, religious guilt, and defiant independence.
