Sonic Youth, formed in New York City in 1981, is a highly influential band that emerged from the No-Wave music scene. Comprised of Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon, and Richard Edson initially, they later added drummer Steve Shelley. With their roots in experimental music and collaborations with Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth has consistently pushed boundaries throughout their career.

Over the years, Sonic Youth recorded 15 albums together and embarked on various side and solo projects. Their work is known for its challenging and innovative nature, making them one of the most intriguing bands of their time. The album "Sonic Nurse," featuring Jim O'Rourke's talents alongside the band members', further solidified their reputation.

In 2011, Sonic Youth went on an indefinite hiatus following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore after nearly three decades of marriage. Despite this setback, their impact on alternative rock remains undeniable.

Ten songs of American beauty and sonic death: on "Pattern Recognition" Kim Gordon takes Justin Timberlake's hand and sticks it in a tendon-shredding meat grinder; they gay marriage the hell out of religious zealot war pigs Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and Ashcroft with the meditative "Peace Attack"; Bare Trees-era Fleetwood Mac jams with Jealous Again-era Black Flag on the heart-pounding "Unmade Bed" and "I Love You Golden Blue"; the core reactor awesomeness of "Paper Cup Exit" reduces such legends as Led Zeppelin and Yes to just so much British schoolboy whimpering.
