Before punk rock had a name, three African American brothers from Detroit were making history. A Band Called Death is a compelling documentary that tells the story of David, Bobby, and Dannis Hackney, whose band Death was creating hard-driving rock music in the early 1970s—years before punk became a movement.
Despite rejection from record labels and society’s expectations, their music was rediscovered decades later, finally earning them the recognition they deserved as true pioneers of punk. This film is an inspiring tale of vision, perseverance, and the power of music.
