End of the Century: The Story of The Ramones
In 1974 the New York City music scene was shocked into consiousness by a band of misfits from Queens called the Ramones. Playing in a seedy Bowery bar to a small group of fellow struggling musicians, the band struck a dissonant chord that rocked the foundation of the '70s music scene. Tracing the history of the band, from its unlikely origins through its bitter demise, "End of the Century" is a vibrant, candid document of one of the most influential groups in the History of Rock.
