Sonic Youth

In 1984, Sonic Youth was pushing boundaries and solidifying their place in the alternative music scene. The live recording of "Justice Is Might" at Danceteria captures the band at a raw and electrifying moment just after the release of their third studio album, "Confusion Is Sex," which came out in 1983. This album marked their ascent into a more avant-garde territory, embracing noise, dissonance, and a unique sonic palette that would set them apart. Performing at such a vibrant venue like Danceteria, they delivered a lively and intense show, showcasing their experimental sound. It's fascinating to note that this period was pivotal for Sonic Youth as they navigated the underground scene, laying the groundwork for their future successes and influence on rock music.
