About this album

Rocket to Russia is one of the Ramones’ essential early statements, refining the band’s blitzkrieg punk into something sharper, catchier and more durable. Released in 1977, it balanced the group’s speed and simplicity with pop hooks and rock ’n’ roll wit, helping define the template for American punk. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Tommy Ramone, the album includes some of the band’s best-known songs, including Sheena Is a Punk Rocker and Rockaway Beach. Its mix of humour, urgency and melodic instinct made it a touchstone for later punk and pop-punk bands, and one of the most celebrated records in the Ramones catalogue.

Genre: Punk & Alternative
