Zavvi - The Home of Pop Culture

In 1974, the New York City music scene was shocked into consciousness by the violently new and raw sound of 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 chord of disharmony that rocked the foundation of the mid seventies music scene. This quartet of unlikely rock stars travelled across the country and around the world connecting with disenfranchised everywhere, while sparking a movement that would resonate with two generations of outcasts across the globe. Although the band never reached the top of the Billboard charts, they managed to endure in the face of fleeting success and crushing interpersonal conflicts by maintaining a rigorous touring schedule for twenty-two years.
Tracing the history of the band, from it's unlikely origins, through it's star-crossed career, bitter demise and the sad fates of Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny, End of the Century is a vibrant, candid document of one of the most influential groups in the history of rock.
