Detroit, Michigan’s Death AKA one of the first ever punk bands. This “Where Do We Go From Here” (https://youtu.be/QrMmlyOJawY?si=ApwfYykP6D7AcEcN) originally from their 2009 compilation of demos from the 1970s “For the Whole World to See” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nCANfL0DjpvoMKmCVyym1yu5K7oum2Ybg&si=duX775th-GY0SSR9) I highly recommend the 2012 documentary “A Band Called Death” available for free on InternetArchive (https://archive.org/details/a-band-called-death-2012)
