Subj:Np: Death Was Punk Before Punk Was Punk

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.?
