A band called Death - Early 70s Detroit proto punk
Death was a garage rock and protopunk demo band formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1971 by the brothers Bobby (bass, vocals), David (guitar), and Dannis (drums) Hackney. The African American trio started out as an R&B band but switched to rock after seeing an Alice Cooper show.[1] Music critic Peter Margasak (incorrectly denoting the youngest brother) retrospectively wrote of their musical direction: "The youngest of the brothers, guitarist David, pushed the group in a hard-rock direction that presaged punk, and while this certainly didn’t help them find a following in the mid-70s, today it makes them look like visionaries
"Keep on Knocking" (David Hackney, Bobby Hackney) – 2:50
"Rock-N-Roll Victim" (D. Hackney) – 2:41
"Let the World Turn" (D. Hackney, B. Hackney) – 5:56
"You're a Prisoner" (D. Hackney, B. Hackney) – 2:24
yeah one of my favorite finds from the last five years watch the documentary its great,the one and only album they put out is a gem but unfortunatly its only seven songs long you can blame Clive Davis for that!!!!
