Proto Punk Pioneers Death Finally Have Album Released 30 Years Later


Death were an all black band from Detroit that started out playing funk and R&B. The band became heavily influenced by fellow Detroit rockers The Stooges and MC5. The band only ever released a seven inch due in part to a move to Vermont where people did not get them. On February 17 Chicago indy Drag City will release the songs they recorded 30 years ago for the first time. It's nice to know that to this day there is still unheard music this good left to discover.
