Death is a Detroit rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1971 by brothers Bobby (bass, vocals), David (guitar), and Dannis (drums) Hackney. The triostarted out as a funk band but switched to rock after seeing a concert by The Who. Seeing Alice Cooper play was also an inspiration. Music critic PeterMargasak retrospectively wrote that David "pushed the group in a hard-rock direction that presaged punk, and while this certainly didn’t help them find afollowing in the mid-70s, today it makes them look like visionaries." They could possibly be considered one of the first punk bands in the world. The bandbroke up by 1977 but reformed in 2009 when the Drag City label released their 70s demos for the first time.
