Everything about Ramones: biography, style & influences

Ramones, formed in New York in 1974, are widely considered pioneers of punk rock. With their short, fast and efficient songs, and their iconic look of ripped jeans and black leather jackets, they established a raw and direct style that would influence generations of bands worldwide.

Driven by anthems such as Blitzkrieg Bop, Sheena Is a Punk Rocker and I Wanna Be Sedated, the band embodies the true spirit of punk: urgency, independence and rejection of musical conventions. Their famous slogan “Hey Ho Let’s Go” still resonates as a universal rallying cry.

With the passing of its original members, the Ramones left behind an indelible mark on the history of alternative rock.
