What it’s about. Antes de Bad Brains, los Sex Pistols o incluso The Ramones, había una banda llamada Death. El punk antes de que existiera el punk, tres hermanos adolescentes a principios de los años 70 formaron una banda, comenzaron a tocar algunos en conciertos locales e incluso hicieron un single con la esperanza de firmar un contrato. Pero esta fue la época del Motown y la emergente música disco. Las compañías discográficas encontraron la música y el nombre de la banda demasiado intimidantes, y al grupo nunca se le dio una oportunidad justa, se separaron antes de poder completar un álbum. Electrizante documental de rock y épica historia de amor de la familia a partes iguales, A Band Called Death narra el increíble viaje de cuento de hadas de lo que pasó casi tres décadas más tarde, cuando una polvorienta demo de 1974 consiguió salir de la buhardilla y encontró un público varias generaciones más jóvenes.

Who’s in it. A Band Called Death stars Dannis Hackney as Self, Bobby Hackney as Self, David Hackney as Self (archive footage) and Henry Rollins as Self, among others.
