The MC5 will always be close to my heart. That record blew my little 14 year old brain wide open.
Listening to MC5, their first album, now for the first time in a long time and it strikes me as proto-punk at its finest. What’s also striking is how, after a rousing introduction, the band comes out just ripping the menacing intro to Ramblin’ Rose and then the singer comes in with a really bad falsetto. Weird. Then they get to kickin’ out the jams on the second tune. Takes me back to 1969.

Wayne Kramer always sang the cover of Ramblin Rose with the falsetto. Rob Tyner was the lead singer who sang pretty much everything else.Listening to MC5, their first album, now for the first time in a long time and it strikes me as proto-punk at its finest.

I can’t imagine the audio quality on your system is anything to write home about Steve, but MAN is that whole thing so raw. Pure energy.

Funhouse will always be my favorite Stooges record. I dunno what they were up to during that time, but it’s a weird one!

@Cruisertrash talking about MC5. Got me to thinking it's hard to argue that Detroit was the incubator for punk, at least in America if not the whole thing. I mean, yeah, The Punks came from there after all. Stooges, ? & The Mysterians, The Dogs, Death, etc.

But perhaps it should be Tacoma?

I’m partial to Detroit, but Washington definitely had their scene out there with the Sonics, Wailers, Kingsmen. In fact, the Kingsmen couldn’t get loud enough with the amps of the day so they started their own company making high power rigs. Sunn Amplifiers!
But yeah, I’ll take Detroit any day. SRC, the Frost, Bob Seger System, etc etc etc, a whole lot of great rock and psych bands. But like you said, there were a few doing something special in creating early punk.

I’ve debated doing this for a while, but … what the hell. One of the bands I’m in recorded in December. This is the final mix for the EP, but it is NOT RELEASED YET. Hell, we haven’t even played out yet. Our first show is 3/25 at the 715 Club in Five Points. The EP will be released on digital and tape cassette in April or May, and we already have a whole new batch of songs in the pipeline. I’m on rhythm guitar and for those that know my partner Karen, she’s on drums.
This YouTube link is not searchable, so it’s off the radar. We posted it as a link-only thing to make it easier to give to promoters. This is only for y’all, not for sharing!!!
For fans of dirtbag garage trash and or punk. Think Goner Records stuff. We cover a Headcoats song. There’s maybe some Dead Moon and Kinks influence, maybe some punked up doo-woo in there too, a la Johnny Thunders. Listen close for a Farfisa on a couple tunes.
Recorded entirely analog through my old console to a TASCAM 1/2” 8 track reel to reel machine, then mixed back through the console direct to cassette. If you’re looking for pristine fidelity, it’s not there. If “garage rock” as a genre is something you like, you’ll understand.
This is not the finished artwork. Tammy Shine from the long running and legendary Denver band Dressy Bessy is going to do a photo shoot for us that will be incorporated into something like the art you see.
