VIOLENT FEMMES
Add It Up (1981-1993)
2021 U.S. 2xLP pressing

Saturday night with the Femmes.

This is one of those absolutely perfect compilations of a band’s work. I talked about it when I posted Special View by The Only Ones a few weeks ago. You could argue that Add It Up might be the only thing you’d ever need to own by the Violent Femmes.

It covers all possible bases; signature songs of theirs like “Blister In The Sun”, “American Music”, “I Held Her In My Arms”, and “Gone Daddy Gone”, but also the deeper and weirder cuts like the frightening “Country Death Song”, as well as five killer live tracks.

Such a great, odd, completely singular band.
