Punkrock History

54 years ago
A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk

Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

@historyofpunkrock i'm listening to For the Whole World to See and, as a New Wave of British Heavy Metal fan, I'm like… in love. It really feels like the roots of NWoBHM. I LOVE it.

Thanks for this
