Sonic Youth is an American alternative rock band formed in 1981 in New York City by Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass, vocals), Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) and Richard Edson (drums). Drummer Steve Shelley joined the band in 1985, cementing their most famous line-up. Influenced by various styles such as punk, no wave and experimental music, Sonic Youth developed a distinctive sound based on dissonant guitars and alternative tunings.
Their 1988 album ‘Daydream Nation’ is often considered their masterpiece, with iconic tracks such as ‘Teen Age Riot’. In the early 1990s, Sonic Youth signed to Geffen Records, expanding their audience while maintaining their experimental and forward-thinking approach.
Throughout their career, they released numerous influential albums and collaborated with artists such as Nirvana and Lydia Lunch. Although the band disbanded in 2011 following Moore and Gordon’s divorce, Sonic Youth’s legacy remains embedded in alternative music history.
