"Nazi Punks Fuck Off" is the fifth and (for me) most important single by the Dead Kennedys, released in late October/early November 1981 on Alternative Tentacles. The single included a free armband with a crossed-out swastika on it.

A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk

Formed in Nov. 71' by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

Three black brothers from Detroit formed a band. They called themselves DEATH. They were most likely the first punks. Breathtaking...
