	Violent Femmes Biography : Oldies.com
		Violent Femmes included a number of songs which would be rapidly adopted as alternative rock classics, including "Blister In The Sun", "Kiss Off", "Add It Up", "Gone Daddy Gone" and "Good Feeling".
		Hallowed Ground followed a year later, a more full-bodied work that lacked the shambolic nature of their debut.
		There was then a hiatus in Violent Femmes' activities while Gordon Gano appeared with his side-project, the gospel-influenced Mercy Seat, and multi-instrumentalist Ritchie recorded two solo sets for the SST Records label.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Violent Femmes - 1984 - Hallowed Ground Music Review
		But on Hallowed Ground, religion and hatred-of-religion are so closely entwined that it's hard to decode the sarcasm of a number like the bluegrass-gospel "Jesus Walking on the Water." It's pretty believable, and were it not for Gano's nasal sneer, it would be difficult to tell it apart from a Carter Family recording.
		Hallowed Ground wraps up with a jolly, celebratory ditty called "It's Gonna Rain"—as happy and demented an F.U. to the system as "They're Coming to Take Me Away." There's ark imagery, and more 40-days-and-40-nights gobbledygook, but it's not at all as sinister as the rest of the album.
		The Violent Femmes may hail from Wisconsin, but this death trip is a hot, humid ride through the hell of the Bible Belt.

	Hallowed Ground - Violent Femmes - Song Listings
		After the surprise success of their landmark debut, Violent Femmes could have just released another collection of teen-rage punk songs disguised as folk, and coasted into the modern rock spotlight alongside contemporaries like the Modern Lovers and Talking Heads.
		Gano, the son of a Baptist minister, may wear his faith like a badge of honor, but it's a badge, not a shield, and what keeps the songs so volatile is the fact that they're filtered through the eyes, ears, heart, and loins of a teenager.
		The Femmes are nothing if not true to themselves, and Hallowed Ground is a testament to their tenacity, courage, and sheer obliviousness to industry ogling.

		Aside from the Milwaukee trio's 1981 debut, the Violent Femmes have made a career of tacking one or two great songs onto otherwise mediocre albums--so this 1993 best-of is perfect for consumers.
		If you are like me and think that the Violent Femmes are one of if not the very best rock group of the last twenty-five years, you will already own this album because it is, in a word, essential.
		The violent femmes are a phenomena that no one can describe and that they are so unknown is a shock.

		The Violent Femmes were discovered almost 20 years ago entertaining a line of folks waiting to get into a Pretenders concert.
		I do not think the Femmes have captured the same kind of fire they did when their hits were recorded.
		I saw the Violent Femmes live way back in 1989, and this live CD is the next best thing to seeing them perform in person (although there is nothing quite like dancing to Country Death Song among thousands of fellow Femmes fans).

	Violent Femmes (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Violent Femmes - Booking Entertainment, Corporate, Event, Meeting - Contact Violent Femmes
		The textbook American cult band of the 1980s, the Violent Femmes captured the essence of teen angst with remarkable precision; raw and jittery, the trio's music found little commercial success but nonetheless emerged as the soundtrack for the lives of troubled adolescents the world over.
		With 1984's Hallowed Ground, Gano's lyrics began to reflect his devout Baptist upbringing, while the Femmes' music approached more traditional folk and country structures.
		After the record's release, the Femmes temporarily disbanded: Gano recorded a self-titled 1987 album with his gospel side project the Mercy Seat, while Ritchie issued a series of solo LPs including 1987's The Blend and 1989's Sonic Temple and Court of Babylon for SST.

		The Violent Femmes' 1983 self-titled debut is one of the most groundbreaking, important, influential, and enjoyable albums ever released, a musical testament that speaks to all dispossessed souls then, now, and probably forever.
		This song, I must say, is worth the price of the album all by itself; it resonates with the type of somber power than defined and distinguished The Violent Femmes at their grittiest best.
		Violent Femmes were, for their first two albums, one of the best bands in the world.

	Review of Violent Femmes' "Hallowed Ground"
		Another strange feature of Hallowed Ground is that quite a few of the songs are strangely alluring even though they are quite bad.
		About half of this album consists of the type of catchy little songs that are associated with a camp singalong- repetitive, simple and mindless fun.
		Violent Femmes are certainly original and worthy of attention, but, on Hallowed Ground ground at least, their quirky approach to music just doesn't come off.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Violent Femmes, Violent Femmes, CD
		One of the most distinctive records of the early alternative movement and an enduring cult classic, Violent Femmes weds the geeky, child-man persona of Jonathan Richman and the tense, jittery, hyperactive feel of new wave in an unlikely context: raw, amateurish acoustic folk-rock.
		Still, the main reason Violent Femmes became the preferred soundtrack for the lives of many an angst-ridden teenager is lead singer and songwriter Gordon Gano.
		In 1983, the Violent Femmes' first recording, and certainly their most prolific, had the underground world in an uproar, becoming the first album to ever reach platnum status without once making the Top 100 charts.

		Without falling prey to death, breakups, and commercial overexposure, the Femmes have maintained their simmering intensity with an ever-growing loyal fan base of former punks, Generation Xers, and their younger brothers and sisters.

	Hallow Ground
		While the first album had that slightly distorted, fuck you all, three-piece acoustic teenage punk sound, this album uses several different music genres, adding banjo, piano, autoharp, a horn section, and female background vocals.
		While "Violent Femmes" was written about typical teenage guy/girl relationships, "Hallowed Ground" concentrates on Gano’s love/hate relationship with religion.
		While the first album showed innocence, this song in particular shows the band was more than teenage relationship songs…the Femmes were capable of something more Alice Cooperish…something more sinister…of rocking harder…of blowing every 15 year olds mind that bought this album when it came out.

		At the time, the Femmes felt like they were out on their own with the music they were making.
		The Femmes have maintained a healthy fan base and a stylistically consistent sound over the years, veering somewhat erratically within the folk/punk confines of their invented genre, and even adding a heavy dose of poppy electric guitar on their 2000 release, Freak Magnet.

	Rhino -- Employee Review - Rzine #177
		It's taken a while to fully sink in, but at long last the first Violent Femmes album is being acknowledged as one of the ten or so most important to arise from the punk revolution.
		The Femmes pound the hell out of their instruments on this one, more ferociously than any heavy-metal or punk guitarist you can name.
		And the folks who bought this album in 1983 have had children who've become big fans of this album -- a sold-out Femmes show a couple years ago in LA at least half-consisted of kids.

	Violent Femmes: Freak Magnet Aversion.com Review
		Time off seems to have paid dividends for the Violent Femmes, though, with Freak Magnet, the band's first studio record in five years, delivering a strong showing, eclipsing much of the band's latter-day albums in both depth and quality.
		As always, the Femmes, find themselves slightly off kilter with this album, though this time it's with that sense of fun and longing the band is at its best with rather than the off-balance shots at expanding their sound that landed them on shaky ground.
		The Femmes may be long past their wild and young days, though they still manage to have fun on this album.

		The album Animalism was originally released in 1966 and chock full of blues covers from across the pond.
		In this case it is the Femmes debut album which, while immensely popular, pigeonholed the band for the rest of their career.
		Listen to this 1984 album with fresh ears, void of any pre-conceived notions about who and what the band were.

		Produced by local Americana enthusiast Robert Skoro, "Woodcat" was apparently recorded inside a fish tank, giving it the claustrophobic and harrowing atmosphere of dread endemic to the genre.
		There are multiple modern-day touch points for "Woodcat;" what sprang immediately to mind, though, was Christian gloomsters 16 Horsepower crossed with the Violent Femmes' second album "Hallowed Ground," minus the fun songs.
		The male vocals eerily ape Gordon Gano with shrieking female counterpoint somewhere at the intersection of Thalia Zedek (Live Skull, Come) and the banshee wails of Bjork.

		One of the earliest bands to apply a punk ethos to acoustic music, the Violent Femmes create a wired and jagged sound, focusing on both the interplay between the band's guitar and bass as well as front man Gordon Gano's nervous lyrics and delivery, frequently focusing on teen angst exuality and mental breakdown.
