Hi youtube world, this is Frantic the guy singing, thanks for the positive feedback don't know who posted this but it is 'without permission', but guess what the cool thing about the internet is you can respond instantly, here's my response "you have permission", want to hear something weird, it's 9/5/2015 and I'm going to the drummers brothers house and will be playing this song today, HBO bought some of our shit for the new series "Vinyl" what's funny is we are still playing this crap, I still get high as fuck and love singing this one, makes me want to drop some good BrotherHood Sunshine LSD from this era cause that's what it was written on, trust me I saw "colors flashing all blue and red, baby I feel so good I think I'm gonna DropDead" peace, Frantic (ps) thanks for posting, it's nice when someone else 'rings your bell'

Further evidence punk came from michigan. This band and death and the up. And of course mc5 and the sooges...rip wayne kramer

Amazing historic video of fast music!!

From the Wiki: "In 1974, the group recorded a series of demos in the basement of Alan and Craig Webber's family house in Waterford Township. Several of the tracks they recorded such as "My Time's Comin'", "Q1", and "Drop Dead" display a thrashing intensity indicative of future punk acts."

I heard a band called The Punks in 1976 at a road house called Richardson's Pavilion in WI. It changed my musical direction. Gold lame pants (falling off) crawling around on the stage, slamming the mic. Like nothing we had ever seen.

bears more than a passing nod to the stooges....I love it...how music should be ..If I didn't know better I'd say it WAS the stooges under another name

Al is a great friend of mine, we worked together for many years .....I helped him a few times with some of this great old punk rock and a few times gathering old motorcycle parts!!!! great times!!!!

(Joking) I was looking for something like radio classic rock or something by Pink Floyd and I ended up finding real rock and roll. The owner of this channel has no shame. Fortunately!👍👍👍👍👍

They make no bones about the kind of music they play, the name of the band says it all--THE PUNKS! And they wear it well!

An evolutionary link between The Stooges and Motorhead and Discharge.

This riff reminds me of Discharge's Free Speech for the Dumb, awesome stuff for 1973 and from the murder city!

Thanks so very much for uploading, It's hard to believe these guys and their type of music existed back in 73 especially when bearing in mind the Woodstock festival was only in 1969 these guys were generations ahead ahead of their time, I understand they broke up in 77 and then the wheels of the British Punk Rock music revolution caught up with them so they reformed, changed their name to "The End " but never managed to crack it. It strange because I can hear similarities to some bands that done very well with a similar sound and style. Motorhead, G.B.H and The Jesus and Mary Chain to mention just a few. Oh and just to finish with, they actually called themselves "The Punks" brilliant.

They weren't ahead of their time, they were *of* their time. Like others have said, this bears more than a passing resemblance to the MC5's Black To Comm and the Stooges' 1970. I'm surprised that people are so blown away by it like it came from another planet. It is fun to listen to, but it is incredibly derivative of other bands of the time, and earlier. Yes, the Stooges were doing this earlier, and so were the Up, and a bunch of bands. And Hawkwind certainly existed. There were hard British bands like Pink Fairies, Crushed Butler, all kinds of bands that sounded like this for a couple of years already before 1973. It's like discovering a great lost grunge band in 1992. Yes, great, they sound like Mudhoney or Nirvana and fell through the cracks. That's what everyone was trying to do at the time. The pioneers were the ones doing it first, and this band - good band, yes - was not doing it first.

​​@@impalaman9707 when you say hardcore band and mentioning it in a conversation on punk. Hardcore - punk as a sub genre of punk didn't come about til the very late 70s, first band - ep to be considered hardcore- punk, was released by the Middle Class - out of vogue.* (basically faster and more energetic than 70s style punk rock. The basic difference) Couple years after the Middle Class came out hardcore punk bands like Battalion of Saints and Minor Threat came through. Minor Threat still probably the most famous hardcore - punk band of all time.
