The Punks LP 1973-1977

The Punks formed in Waterford, Michigan in 1973. Active participants in the Detroit 70s rock & roll (what we now call Proto-Punk) scene, they were often compared to the likes of The Stooges, The MC5, (their two most prominent influences) The Dogs and Death. The Punks fit the Detroit sound of the time for sure, but definitely add their own flair or thunderous guitars and blistering energy. In 1977, the band split and relocated to New York City where they became ’The End’. These tracks are assorted demos and rehearsal recordings of the group, compiled in 2003 for a record entitled “The Most Powerful Music on Earth“., which was then distributed by Rave Up Records in 2005. There is a documentary in the works by Bennett Phillips called “ My Time’s Coming: The Story of the Punks“ () For more information check out Times Comm’n 0:00 of Madness 4:55 Side 8:43 Dead 16:48 Funeral 20:48 Mercy 26:55 Fueled Accident 32:54 Boy 35:55 One 42:56
