No Wave is the first book to vi­su­al­ly chron­i­cle the col­li­sion of art and punk in the New York un­der­ground of 1976 to 1980. This in depth look at punk rock, new wave, ex­per­i­men­tal mu­sic, and the avant-​garde art move­ment of the 70s and 80s fo­cus­es on the true ar­chi­tects of No Wave from James Chance to Ly­dia Lunch to Glenn Bran­ca, as well as the lu­mi­nar­ies that in­ter­sect­ed the scene, such as David Byrne, Deb­bie Har­ry, Bri­an Eno, Ig­gy Pop, and Richard Hell.

This rarely doc­u­ment­ed scene was the cre­ative stomp­ing ground of young artists and film­mak­ers from Jean-​Michel Basquiat to Jim Jar­musch as well as the mu­si­cal gen­e­sis for the post-​punk ex­plo­sions of Son­ic Youth and is here re­vealed for a new gen­er­a­tion of fans and col­lec­tors.

Thurston Moore and By­ron Co­ley have se­lect­ed 150 un­for­get­table im­ages, most of which have nev­er been pub­lished pre­vi­ous­ly, and com­piled hun­dreds of hours of per­son­al in­ter­views to cre­ate an oral his­to­ry of the move­ment, pro­vid­ing a nev­er-​seen-​be­fore ex­plo­ration and cel­e­bra­tion of No Wave.

Thurston Moore is one of the found­ing mem­bers of the icon­ic band Son­ic Youth and the au­thor of Mix Tape.

By­ron Co­ley is an es­teemed mu­sic writ­er and ed­i­tor, who has con­tribut­ed to nu­mer­ous pub­li­ca­tions, in­clud­ing Forced Ex­po­sure and Spin.
