Garage rockPunk rock

The Modern Lovers is a Garage rock and Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Earl Zero, John Cale, The Velvet Underground and The Stooges. Those roots explain a lot about how The Modern Lovers arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as New York Dolls, John Cale, Flamin' Groovies, Alex Chilton and The Sonics, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jonas Brothers, Sex Pistols, Loose Joints, Dinosaur L and John Cale, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around The Modern Lovers, reaching back through Earl Zero and forward to Jonas Brothers.
