Hey! Ho! Let's Go! : The Story of the Ramones
The Ramones - Book - by Everett True
(2026)
The Ramones cut an unforgettable swathe through decades of popular music. They pioneered politically charged, raw sounds with absurdist flair, igniting crowds with ferocious 20-minute sets that helped shape the punk movement with their authentic anti-establishment voice. Everett True’s absorbing biography of punk’s renegade first family traces the band’s origins, from the leafy suburbs of New York to their infamous shows in the gritty basement of CBGB’s.
Drawing on insightful interviews with the Ramones themselves and those who were there to craft a vivid portrait of the 1970s New York scene– this essential book highlights the Ramones’ pivotal role in directing the trajectory of alternative music for years to come. Hey! Ho! Let’s Go! is an essential history of one of the 20th century’s most idiosyncratic and boundary-breaking bands.
Seen through the eyes of the people who were there - musicians, managers, producers, publicists - this insightful biography depicts the Ramones rebellion against the establishment, how they forged their unique voice against the pressures of censure and managed to stay honest until the bitter end.
Updated to reflect the sad death of guitarist Johnny Ramone, this is the essential story of the punk scene’s most durable and influential band.
