Death
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(protopunk_band)
Death is a Detroit rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1971 by brothers Bobby (bass, vocals), David (guitar), and Dannis (drums) Hackney. The trio started out as a funk band but switched to rock after seeing a concert by The Who.[2] Seeing Alice Cooper play was also an inspiration.[3] Music critic Peter Margasak retrospectively wrote that David "pushed the group in a hard-rock direction that presaged punk, and while this certainly didn’t help them find a following in the mid-70s, today it makes them look like visionaries."[3] They are seen in many groups as one of the first punk bands in the world.[4] The band broke up by 1977 but reformed in 2009 when the Drag City label released their 70s demos for the first time.[5]
