Released 42 years today on April 13, 1983, The Violent Femmes self-titled debut album

If you haven't yet, check out live versions of them. Street performance was so ingrained in them that the drummer didn't even use a drumset.

I love this album and still listen to it pretty regularly. I saw them once in the early 90s and yes, the drummer had nothing but a snare drum.

I’m more disturbed that it was 42 years ago lol. Doesn’t even sound that old!

One of my all time classic favorites. Just had a friend pick up a first pressing LP for me. In my top 10 favorite single records of all time no question. Theres nothing else quite like it.

I first heard it in high school, around 1991.

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

Mind, fucking, blown.

Too bad about the rest of their stuff.
