Television:

"TELEVISION, FORMED IN NYC IN 1973, IA AN AMERICAN ROCK MUSIC BAND. THEY CAN BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND BEST EXAMPLES OF ART PUNK. TELEVISION WAS PART OF THE EARLY NEW YORK PUNK ROCK SCENE, CONTEMPORARIES OF BANDSLIKE PATTI SMITH GROUP AND THE RAMONES. IN CONTRAST WITH THE RAMONE'S ARTISTIC FOCUS ON MINIMALIST AMATUERISM, TELEVISION'S MUSIC WAS MUCH MORE TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT, DEFINED BY THE DUELING GUITARS OF TOM VERLAINE AND RICHARD LLOYD. IN RETROSPECT, TELEVISION POINTED BEYOND PUNK ROCK TO NEW WAVE, ART ROCK, AND POST PUNK."
