Hey there guys, I’m finally back up and writing again. I should be a lot less busy nowadays, so I will be writing more frequently again. Recently, I have been listening to The Violent Femmes. The Violent Femmes were formed in 1980, and recently broke up this year. Before the split, the band was comprised of Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie, Victor DeLorenzo, and Guy Hoffman. I am a big fan of their early work, which is what really got them noticed. Personal favorites of mine are the songs “Blister In The Sun” and “Gone Daddy Gone.” Blister In The Sun has been used frequently in movies over the years. The Violent Femmes have a style that has been called “folk punk,” a style that it seems they have invented. You can find a video for Blister In The Sun below, which in itself I find interesting.
