Violent Femmes are an alternative rock band that formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the early 1980s. Gordon Gano (singer/guitarist), Brian Ritchie (bassist), and Victor DeLorenzo (percussionist) founded the group and were discovered by James Honeyman-Scott of The Pretenders when the band was playing on a street corner in front of the Milwaukee venue that The Pretenders would be playing later that night.

Their initial musical style was an innovative combination of American folk music and indie rock. The lyrics were the common adolescent themes of yearning for love, sex and affection. The group quickly gained a small cult following 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 "Kiss Off"). The debut album went platinum ten years after its release.
In 2005, they released of two collections of past work. The CD was the first record that recognized all four musicians and their contributions on the same disc. In 2005, the original trio toured Australasia, North America, Europe and Africa.
