The first well-known rockers were individuals, not bands... Maybe Bill Haley & The Comets might fill the bill... there was no "first" band exactly... just a bunch of people all trying out the same kind of musical styles...
"Rocket 88" is probably considered the first "rock" song, but I don't recall who did it first...

Well dude really depends on what you would consider "rock" like rock way back in the day was like Johnny Cash and the crickets... Rock in the Sixtys 70's Jimi Hendrix.. Kiss.. the rolling stones the beetles the sex pistols.. you have your 80's hair bands your 90's grundge and now your nickelback.. Taking back sunday and greenday so as for the first.. i couldnt tell you because rock has no real deffinition it has dramatically changed over time

Rather a broad question. "Rock" as been going for decades,formerly R&B.
Ike Turner's Rocket 88 (Jackie Brenston & His delta cats) is arguably the first R&R song,
but I would credit Bill haley and his saddlemen (Comets) as the first well know band

Elvis was the first solo performer to really bring rock into the forefront, to get it noticed by the mainstream, and the first really popular rock band was the Beatles.
