Oh man, so I've been following this stuff for a while (local interest, I lived in Burlington for a few years), but these dudes are finally blowing up... Forty years after the fact.
Forgotten except by the most fervent punk rock record collectors — the band’s self-released 1976 single recently traded hands for the equivalent of $800 — Death would likely have remained lost in obscurity if not for the discovery last year of a 1974 demo tape in Bobby Sr.’s attic. Released last month by Drag City Records as “... For the Whole World to See,” Death’s newly unearthed recordings reveal a remarkable missing link between the high-energy hard rock of Detroit bands like the Stooges and MC5 from the late 1960s and early ’70s and the high-velocity assault of punk from its breakthrough years of 1976 and ’77. Death’s songs “Politicians in My Eyes,” “Keep On Knocking” and “Freakin Out” are scorching blasts of feral ur-punk, making the brothers unwitting artistic kin to their punk-pioneer contemporaries the Ramones, in New York; Rocket From the Tombs, in Cleveland; and the Saints, in Brisbane, Australia. They also preceded Bad Brains, the most celebrated African-American punk band, by almost five years.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting this- [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVRbcOBcOc0[/youtube]
But that sounded pretty cool and I'd like to hear more. Any linkys to more of their stuff? I liked the last piece that was playing where the vocs started to go into Deep Purple Highway star territory.
