What do you do when your first album is the CITIZEN KANE of alternative rock? Spend the next two decades living in its shadow. Inspired by the Modern Lovers and the Velvet Underground, the Violent Femmes pioneered the use of acoustic instruments in post-punk/new wave, with great success straight out of the gate. Subsequent albums have been consistent and similar.
