Brock Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Someone was telling me about a punk band in 70s....from Detroit and were apparently ground breaking. Never heard of them but see they had three albums. Anyone got any music or heard them before... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_%28protopunk_band%29 http://abandcalleddeath.com/ http://www.popmatters.com/post/173285-dont-call-them-proto-punk-a-band-called-death/ Edited December 4, 2013 by Brock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIEF DOC 99 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Call 'em punk if you want, but I hear other influences ~ MC5, Stooges, Frost, Who and even Zappa... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3kEsmLEKN8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3kEsmLEKN8 3pc band that kicked ass ~ but no record deal, no money just raw talent from a gospel music background. Started out as 3pc RnB band then spun to the 3 chord progression rock format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundaram Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I saw the documentary here in Austin and then got to meet the band as they took questions from the people in the theatre. After that we walked next door and watched them play one of the best shows I've ever seen. Bad Brains meets Thin Lizzy. These guys were super cool and rocking as hell. My kind of band.
