From the Velvets to the Voidoids: A Pre-punk History for a Post-punk WorldFrom the Velvets to the Voidoids explores the origins and evolution of the fiery phase of rock and roll history known as punk and New Wave. Journey through the life of this intense and influential musical movement, from the punk scene's New York roots in the mid-1960s with The Velvet Underground, through the 1970s and groups like the Voidoids, and ultimately to such bands as the Talking Heads. Heylin upends notions that this new music evolved in Britain, establishing authoritatively that its roots were distinctly American: only later would the music develop into its more popular English incarnation.
