Violent Femmes s’est formé en 1981 en tant que groupe punk acoustique jouant dans les rues de Milwaukee, dans le Wisconsin. Leurs principales influences à l’époque étaient Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps et The Velvet Underground. Leur objectif est de faire du rock plus fort que n’importe quel autre groupe acoustique de la planète.
Une critique élogieuse dans le New York Times leur a permis de signer un contrat d’enregistrement, ce qui a donné lieu à des tournées dans le monde entier. Le premier album éponyme de Violent Femmes est devenu le premier et le seul album de l’histoire du Billboard à entrer dans les charts avec une certification de platine, huit ans après sa sortie. Au cours des trois décennies suivantes, les Femmes sont devenues un pilier des festivals, des clubs et des théâtres dans plus de 20 pays à travers le monde. L’émission Unplugged de MTV a été inspirée par les Femmes, bien qu’elles n’y aient jamais participé. 
Leur son brut et leur perspective lyrique honnête ont été cités comme une influence par des artistes aussi divers que Pink, Keith Urban, The Smiths, The Pixies, John Cusack, Mark Morris et Wim Wenders. Plus de 40 ans après le début de leur carrière, les Violent Femmes continuent d’attirer un jeune public lors de leurs tournées, de créer une musique durable et d’inspirer des personnes de tous âges.

Violent Femmes formed in 1981 as an acoustic punk band playing on the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and The Velvet Underground. Their goal was to rock harder than any other acoustic act on the planet. After being rejected for an audition by a local nightclub, the Femmes set up outside a Pretenders gig and began to play.
A rave review in the New York Times eventually led to a record deal, which in turn spawned worldwide touring. Violent Femmes eponymous debut album became the first and only album in Billboard history to enter the charts with a platinum certification- eight years after its release.
Over the ensuing three decades, the Femmes became a mainstay of festivals, clubs, and theaters in more than 20 countries worldwide. MTV’s Unplugged show was inspired by the Femmes, although they never actually appeared on it. Their raw sound and honest lyrical perspective has been cited as an influence by artists as diverse as Pink, Keith Urban, The Smiths, The Pixies, John Cusack, Mark Morris, and Wim Wenders. More than 40 years into their careers, Violent Femmes continue to attract young audiences on tour, create lasting music, and inspire people of all ages.
