The Ramones: American Punk Rock Band

By Brian J. Bowe

Book Overview

The Ramones are considered by many to be the founding fathers of punk rock. With their blistering tempos and stripped-down musical skills, the Ramones inspired generations of youths to pick up instruments and start bands of their own. The band's streetwise fashion of leather jackets, T-shirts, ripped jeans, and sneakers were accessible to the masses, and eventually their look became something of a punk-rock uniform. Readers will learn about The Ramones and their founding band members as well as other band members. Readers will learn about their punk rock legacy.
