The textbook American cult band of the ‘80s, Violent
Femmes captured the essence of teen angst with
remarkable precision. 40 years on, their legacy
remains strong. ‘Add It Up (1981-1993)’ documents
the trailblazing trio’s stylistic development as they
rose to become one of alt-rock’s most commercially-
successful acts.
This 23-track compilation includes hits such as “Blister
in the Sun,” “American Music,” and “Gone Daddy
Gone,” plus live recordings of favorites like “Add It Up,”
and “Kiss Off,” alongside a trove of demos, B-sides,
interstitial voice recordings, and rarities. Available on
vinyl for the first time since its brief initial pressing in
1993.
