About this listen

Starting in 1981, Sonic Youth pushed boundaries as part of American experimental no wave scene to redefine what noise meant in terms of music. The band would combine innovative guitar tunings, dissonance, and feedback with hardcore punk and avant-garde music as part of the New York no wave scene.

The music of Sonic Youth began evolving from these early years taking a more conventional approach as the band become a prominent member of American noise rock.

This episode tells the story of the band from their beginnings through the 1986 album, Evol, as the band was evolving from their no wave beginning.
