Born from the experimental crucible of New York’s no-wave scene, Sonic Youth emerged as a band that would fundamentally reshape the landscape of alternative rock through three decades of sonic exploration and innovation. The band was formed in 1981 by founding members Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, and Lee Ranaldo, who remained the core of the group throughout its entire existence. Steve Shelley joined as drummer in 1985, completing what would become the most recognized lineup of the band. Sonic Youth released 15 studio albums between 1983 and 2009, beginning with Confusion Is Sex and concluding with The Eternal.
