Love Goes To Buildings On Fire by Will Hermes
Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever
It traces the explosive musical and cultural ferment of 1970s New York City—where punk, disco, hip‑hop, funk, reggae and new wave collided—by following the artists, venues and small scenes that transformed popular music between roughly 1973 and 1979. Vivid portraits of club performers, street DJs and the crowds that gathered at places like CBGB, Studio 54 and Bronx block parties show how economic hardship, racial mixing and downtown–uptown cross‑pollination fueled creative breakthroughs that reshaped American music and culture.
