MC5: Back in the U.S.A.

 

Genre: Punk Rock

Dates: 1970

Straight out of Detroit, America's first political rock and roll band. True, the politics needed work (the guys were actually more excited about cars ‘n’ girls), and on this release, there's more teen frustration than puttin' it to the Man, anyway. The real point is the twin-guitar attack of Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith; on songs like "Looking at You" and "The American Ruse," they draw blood.
