Television

Alright, let’s dive into the world of Television—a band that truly defined the sound of New York’s punk and art rock scene in the '70s. By 1974, they were just starting to make waves. Their debut album, *Marquee Moon*, wouldn’t come out until 1977, but during this period, they were honing their sound in small clubs and gaining a reputation for their energetic shows.
