Episode 128: Death (from Detroit)

This week we’re discussing every album by Death, the proto-punk band from Detroit, Michigan. Such an incredible band with one of the most fascinating and tragic backstories. Death was formed in the early 70s by brothers David, Bobby, and Dannis Hackney. The group somehow accidentally invented punk, but was lost to obscurity because no record label would touch the name Death. Fast forward 35 years and their recordings were discovered and reissued, along with the documentary A Band Called Death. Awesome band, and awesome story.

Closing track: “Politicians in My Eyes” from …For the Whole World to See (2009)
