The Violent Femmes are an alternative rock band that formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1980. Gordon Gano (singer/guitarist), Brian Ritchie (bassist), and Victor DeLorenzo (percussionist) founded the group. Their music is an innovative combination of American folk music and punk rock. The lyrics mix common adolescent themes like yearning for love, sex and affection with explorations of sin, death, and the hope of salvation. Their songs often express both a lyrical and musical sense of humor. The group quickly gained a small cult following after the release of their 1981 self-titled album that never burgeoned into widespread popularity, although a few songs from this album did get some recognition ("Add It Up", "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone"). The debut album Violent Femmes went platinum ten years after its release. Critics often attribute the Violent Femmes as laying the ground work of dynamicism for the 90s grunge rock movement.
