There is no doubt in my mind that the debut record from Violent Femmes was one of the most important releases in Indie Rock history. It’s my belief that this is the true launching pad for modern “Indie”. A bunch of buskers heard by The Pretenders and launched on Sire records, this record was finally certified gold…after 4 years. And platinum 4 years later.
Without ever charting!
One of the most important albums in any 80s kid’s college record collection.
