The Story

Formed1976OriginUnited StatesGenrepunk rock, art punkLabelSireMembersRichard Hell

Richard Hell & The Voidoids is a punk rock band from the United States, active since 1976 and known for their artful take on the genre. Fronted by Richard Hell, who previously played with the Neon Boys, Television, and the Heartbreakers, they brought a raw energy and literary edge to the New York scene. Their songs, like "Blank Generation" and "Love Comes in Spurts," blend jagged guitar riffs with provocative lyrics, reflecting the disillusionment and chaos of the time. With a sound that’s as much about attitude as it is about music, the Voidoids carved a distinctive path in punk, challenging norms and inviting listeners into their world of gritty realism.
