Noise Rock

Noise rock (also known as noise punk) describes a style of post-punk rock music that became prominent in the 1980s. Noise rock makes use of the traditional instrumentation and iconography of rock, but incorporates atonality and especially dissonance, and also frequently discards usual songwriting conventions.

Style

Noise Rock is a term that has been used to encompass a wide range of bands which favour dissonance, wild feedback and extreme distortion in the context of Rock music. Noise Rock is an outgrowth of punk rock, while the style was predicted by such 1960s Proto-Punk bands as the The Velvet Underground, Monks and The Godz, Noise Rock came into its own in the 1980s. Cult musician Thurston Moore has said that

“Noise has taken the place of punk rock, People who play noise have no real aspirations to being part of the mainstream culture. Punk has been co-opted, and this subterranean noise music and the avant-garde folk scene have replaced it."
