The Ramones' second album Leave Home is a relentless 29-minute blast of raw, unadulterated punk rock, capturing the band at their most primal and energetic.
- Leave Home was recorded at Sundragon Studio in New York City with producer Craig Leon, who also produced their debut.
- The album charted at number 146 on the Billboard 200, a modest showing that nonetheless demonstrated growing recognition for the band.
- The iconic track 'California Sun' was a cover of a 1960s song by the Rivieras, given the Ramones' signature treatment.
The Ramones were a pioneering punk rock band from Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, known for their fast tempos, minimalist sound, and often comical, juvenile lyrics. Leave Home was their second album, released less than a year after their debut, finding the band solidifying their signature sound.
