Death

Death, the seminal 1970s punk and garage rock trio from Detroit, have long been revered for their distinctive blend of raw punk energy and garage-infused funk. Emerging in 1971, Death’s pioneering sound prefigured the punk explosion, securing their place as a cult favourite among discerning music aficionados. Their roots in Detroit's vibrant underground scene continue to inform their dynamic live performances and influential recordings.

In recent years, Death have demonstrated their ongoing relevance with the release of the split single “Death / Rough Francis Split” in November 2023. Their catalogue also includes key works such as the full-length album "N.E.W." and notable singles like “Give It Back” and “North St.”. Their innovative take on garage rock and punk, peppered with unmistakable funk influences, marks them out as a unique voice in American independent music.

Death are set to appear at The Underworld in London in August 2026, where they will support headliners DAGGA. This performance promises to introduce their electrifying sound to both dedicated followers and new audiences alike. For those passionate about punk, garage rock, and the evolution of underground music, following Death and keeping an eye on their upcoming gigs is essential to experience the enduring force of this groundbreaking group.
