(Sonic Youth is an American rock band based in New York City, formed in 1981. Founding members Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass, vocals, guitar) and Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while Steve Shelley (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, and rounded out the core line-up.
The band emerged from the experimental no wave
art and music scene in New York before evolving into a more
conventional rock band and becoming the most prominent of the American
noise rock groups. Sonic Youth have been praised for having "redefined
what rock guitar could do" using a wide variety of unorthodox guitar
tunings and preparing guitars with objects like drum sticks and
screwdrivers to alter the instruments' timbre. The band is considered to
be a pivotal influence on the alternative and indie rock movements).
