This worldwide movement took place before the internet, before Facebook, EventBite, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. The artwork you see on this page are images created by the band members themselves. Akron and Kent were blanketed by the band members doing their own marketing, advertising and public relations. As you can see from the photo on the left Akron still communicates the same as the pioneers of the "Akron Sound" did some 40 years ago.

GALLERY

We danced a lot to the best bands long into the night and early mornings.

The exhibit shown above was on display at the Akron History Museum for several years and was one of the most popular exhibits there. Showing on the glass counter displayed here is a photo album featuring many people enjoying one of of the many parties that went on after hours when "The Bank" closed for the evening. This album is available for viewing in the "Akron Sound" museum.
