This blog is about the Wisconsin band, The Violent Femmes. They're one of the more unique 80's bands- a lot like The Smiths in themes and tone. Both are great bands, but neither has the happiest lyrics ever. This blog covers from 1983's self-titled debut through 1991's "Why Do Birds Sing?". I have 52 Violent Femmes songs on my iTunes.
