Violent Femmes
Music
About
Violent Femmes are an American alternative institution whose scrappy, acoustic-punk sound made them cult heroes and eventual legends. Their self-titled debut Violent Femmes is a landmark of the genre, packed with anthems of teenage angst and yearning—“Blister In The Sun,” “Kiss Off,” and “Add It Up” remain instantly recognizable decades on. The collection Permanent Record: The Very Best Of The Violent Femmes gathers their essential moments.
Built around Gordon Gano’s nervy vocals and folk-punk songwriting, the band’s raw, unpolished sound has influenced generations. They are set to appear at Bourbon & Beyond 2026. Watch the official videos below and explore their catalog.
