As a city that represents endless possibilities; New York has been the setting for the dawning of new movements; styles; and genres. In the 20th century; the birth of Rock represented a connection between art forms and the city’s socioeconomic; racial; and sexual variants. New York Rock breaks down the rock scene’s half-century connection to New York and analyzes its distinct subculture through the prism of influences; crosscurrents and psychoactive distractions. Over 1;500 musicians; clubs; and labels; from Madonna to the Ramones; held roles in the making of New York Rock; and it’s their contributions that created this iconic art form. A compilation of firsthand narratives about each genre of rock; from Punk New Wave and Glitter Rock to New York Hardcore and Indie rock; New York Rock is the ultimate illustrated account of Rock’s role in New York City.
