Sonic Youth have always been a band shrouded in mystery. Spanning a career that's about to finish off its third decade, the band have carried with them both the avant garde and experimentation of the indie underground, as well as the commercial excess of the 1990s 'Alt-rock' scene. With ove...

By Elise Thompson So it was fascinating to see Sonic Youth playing the entire Daydream Nation album from beginning to end.
