Cretin Family: A History of the Ramones Through Their Tribute Bands Worldwide - Paperback
Description
by Mark Leadon (Author)
Formed in 1974 in Forest Hills, New York, The Ramones were one of the most influential bands in punk rock history. Famed for their dirty sneakers, knee-holed jeans, T-shirts, black leather jackets, and cries of "1, 2, 3, 4," the pioneering 'Brudders' left a legacy few contemporaries can match with their stripped-down, hyper-paced style. Their 1976 debut album set the foundation for punk rock, inspiring countless musicians to start their own bands. "Cretin Family" not only traces the band's history-covering their formation, record releases, tours, disagreements, and line-up changes up to their 1996 break-up-but also examines the numerous tribute bands worldwide that pay homage to the Ramones. This manuscript draws from global sources, offering facts about The Ramones' tours and local venues, highlighting information often lost to fans. As the stories unfold, new narratives about the group emerge, revealing the Ramones' colossal legacy.
"Cretin Family" is for the fans, by the fans.
