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 analyses its distinct subculture through the prism of
influences, crosscurrents, and psychoactive distractions. Over 1,500
musicians, clubs, and labels held roles in the making of New York Rock,
and it's their contributions that created this iconic art form. A
compilation of first hand 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.
