1LP Vinyl – CR00108 (Remastered, 180 Gram)

By combining elements of Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers with new wave and acoustic-folk and punk rock, the Femmes forged a sound all their own. Violent Femmes is the band's most successful album to date and achieved a rare feat by going gold, four years after it's release, and later platinum, four years after that, without having yet made an appearance on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Mostly recorded in July 1982, the album was released by Slash Records in April, 1983.
