Sonic Youthis an experimental rockgroup formed in New York City in 1981. They are generally seen as one of the leading innovators of contemporary rock music. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no waveart and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands. Initially inspired by the noise experimentationof Glenn Brancaand The Velvet Undergroundand the heavy garage rockof The Stooges, they are known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers, drumsticks or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments timbre. Members of the band have released books of poetry and prose (a beatnik influence is evident in both their writing and lyrics), produced, written and performed in films (such as "1991: The Year Punk Broke", "Perfect Partner", "(this is known as) the blues scale" and "last days").
