The New York band Sonic Youth holds a special place as the ultimate indie rock band. Even when the media started paying attention in the nineties, they stuck to their noisy habits of always breaking new ground. The Jazzmaster-wielding pair of guitarists Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore have become masters of the unorthodox, to the point of using a whole different open tuning for each and every song.
