A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 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.

It's crazy that I had never heard of this massacre before watching the show Watchmen (2019). I don't know how I could have missed such a tragedy.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
