Chain Gang emerged from the late-1970s New York City punk scene, a band defined by raw energy, sharp hooks, and a fearless DIY spirit. With a lineup featuring Larry Gee on guitar, Phil Von Rome on drums, Ted Twist on bass, and Ricky Luanda delivering the vocal edge, they carved out a distinct sound that still resonates with fans of hardcore-infused punk. Their legacy includes the provocative 1977 single Son of Sam and a catalog that bridged underground punk with later indie sensibilities.
