Np: Death Was Punk Before Punk Was Punk

[Robin Landseadel]

Three Brothers from Detroit might be the first [1974] punk band. The  
Band's name is Death:

	Bobby’s children were crucial to Death’s resurrection. The
	Hackneys had never shared the details of their Death
	experience with their kids. “We had moved on in our lives and
	thought that chapter was over because we went through so
	much rejection with that music,” Bobby said. “We just didn’t
	want to relive it, and I especially didn’t want to relive it again
	with my children.”
