The Violent Femmes are an alternative rock band that formed in the early 80s that mixed folk and punk rock to produce what has been described as the perfect soundtrack to angsty teens the world over. The band issued their self titled album on Slash records in 1982 and proved to have a strong connection to adolescent outsiders, eventually receiving platinum status a full ten years after its initial release. They released seven albums after that, never quite reaching commercial success but still staying true to their angst ridden sound.
