Rock Legends Season 10 Episode 6 Us Punk Rock
- July 19, 2020
With The New York Dolls, The Ramones, and The Dead Kennedys. A stripped back sound. Fast and loud. Punk played cheap. Fender guitars at full volume, so the notes came out distorted by overdrive. This stripped-down amateur sound rejected musical virtuosity in favor of simple chord changes, energy, commitment, anger, and noise. The lyrics are frank, confrontational, and often political.
