Sonic Youth’s experimental nature in 1980’s New York City gave way to an iconic 1988 album titled Daydream Nation, which captured all of the atonality and dissonance that would define noise rock in later decades.
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their 1988 Daydream Nation album, the band has been holding 30 Years of Daydream Nation film screening events across North America, which include concert footage, talks from band members, and behind-the-scenes footage leading up to the 1988 album. In addition, the band has also released 300 exclusive test-pressings and other records available here.
