Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes are an American band formed in 1980 in Milwaukee. Their sound blends folk, punk, and alternative rock with a stripped-down, acoustic-driven approach featuring prominent acoustic guitar, upright bass, and simple, propulsive percussion. Fronted by vocalist and guitarist Gordon Gano, they are known for candid, often darkly witty lyrics and a raw, energetic delivery that helped shape underground and college radio scenes. Their style is notable for combining punk attitude with folk instrumentation and confessional songwriting.
