Description
The Ramones cut an unforgettable swathe through decades of popular music. With politically charged anger, raw sounds and ferocious 20 minute sets they undercut the glamour of the mainstream music industry and gave the punk movement an authentic voice - a voice which can still be heard echoing through the decades.
Seen through the eyes of the people who were there - musicians, managers, producers, publicists - this insightful biography depicts the Ramones' rebellion against the establishment, how they forged their unique sound against the pressures of censure and managed to stay honest until the bitter end.
