Rock ’n’ roll didn’t arrive politely — it exploded. In the mid-1950s, a new sound ripped through radios, dancehalls and living rooms, shocking parents and thrilling a generation that wanted something louder, faster and more dangerous. When Bill Haley famously declared that rock ’n’ roll was “here to stay”, he wasn’t just predicting a trend — he was announcing a musical revolution that would change popular music forever.

Driven by the raw energy of Little Richard, the fire and controversy of Jerry Lee Lewis, the songwriting genius of Chuck Berry, and the melodic brilliance of Buddy Holly, rock ’n’ roll rewrote the rules almost overnight. And at its very centre stood Elvis Presley, the artist who brought it all crashing into the mainstream with a sound, look and attitude the world had never seen before. The Rock ’n’ Roll Explosion captures the moment when music stopped behaving — and nothing was ever the same again.
