Most people don’t know the true origins of Punk Rock Music. Before The Ramones and before Sex Pistols and even before Bad Brains there were 3 black brothers who formed a band called Death. Mostly inspired by Alice Cooper, Death created songs that sounded nothing like any other group at the time, making them not only the first black punk band but the first punk band ever.
Because they began in the era of Motown and Disco, Deaths music and band name was not well received and considered very intimidating as well as not commercially relatable. So, shortly after refusing to change their band name they disbanded before completing a single album.
This Rockumentary follows The Band Called Death… Before Punk Music was Punk Music.I am pleased to see them finally getting the full recognition as Punk Rock Pioneers
