Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation 1977 (USA, Punk Rock)
Long ago, we did not listen to these punks ... Imagine - the most pure (cleaner does not happen, in the sense of style, not music) punk rock from America 70. Richard Hell & The Voidoids (or simply The Voidoids) - New York, one of the best and most professional punk bands "first wave" ... The most professional, to be exact. Richard Hull (Richard Lester Meyers) - singer, frontman and author of the group, and was a member of The Neon Boys, Television, The Heartbreakers, played an important role in shaping the image of a punk rocker, and he first started wearing torn, dirty clothes, hair upsweep mess up, and use as part of the clothes pins ... But he is also an outstanding poet ... The guitarist Ivan Julian (ex-The Foundations), guitarist Robert Quine (worked with The Velvet Underground, Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine, then Lou Reed and many others), drummer Marc Bell (ex-Dust, ex-Estus, and after - both brands in the Ramona Ramones) ... The Voidoids Theme based on a combination of distinctive vocals and strong lyrics with innovative Hull atonal guitar passages Quinn, all together, it became the basis for one of the most original sounds of early American punk - if you compare with other representatives of the scene CBGB, less straightforward than the Ramones, and not like The Dead Boys ... This - the debut album (from -2, the second album - Destiny Street - was released in 1982). Allmusic called the album "one of the most powerful of the first wave of punk." The song became an anthem Blank Generation American punk ...
