Alan Webber, one of the guitarist and singers, is my DAD. Craig Webber, another member, was my uncle. Died a number of years ago!
Go Punks!!! Love you dad ❤️
He is a ferocious thrasher! I'd be worn out playing that fast and hard for as long as he did, he must have had amazing stamina and energy. Even the Clash and Metallica got knackered halfway through gigs, your dad is amazing!
Cheers 🍻
DAD and UNCLE PUNK !!!!!!!!!!! This is HISTORY hahahahahahahaaaaaaaafhhdbfjkhnbghn !!!!!!!!!!!
your dad and uncle were/are very talented people
fuck yea, your dad and uncle are legends
Hi youtube world, this is Frantic the guy singing, thanks for the positive feedback don't know who posted this but it is 'without permission', but guess what the cool thing about the internet is you can respond instantly, here's my response "you have permission", want to hear something weird, it's 9/5/2015 and I'm going to the drummers brothers house and will be playing this song today, HBO bought some of our shit for the new series "Vinyl" what's funny is we are still playing this crap, I still get high as fuck and love singing this one, makes me want to drop some good BrotherHood Sunshine LSD from this era cause that's what it was written on, trust me I saw "colors flashing all blue and red, baby I feel so good I think I'm gonna DropDead" peace, Frantic (ps) thanks for posting, it's nice when someone else 'rings your bell'

+Franticproductions what a cool comment. I instantly like you and am adding you to my channel. Bet you'll find something you like.
We can admire this in retrospect, but imagine how many people thought this was trash at the time. Original art rarely gets recognition in its time.
the avant-garde/undrgfround of yesterday can sometime be the norme of today.
Further evidence punk came from michigan. This band and death and the up. And of course mc5 and the sooges...rip wayne kramer
I heard a band called The Punks in 1976 at a road house called Richardson's Pavilion in WI. It changed my musical direction. Gold lame pants (falling off) crawling around on the stage, slamming the mic. Like nothing we had ever seen.
From the Wiki: "In 1974, the group recorded a series of demos in the basement of Alan and Craig Webber's family house in Waterford Township. Several of the tracks they recorded such as "My Time's Comin'", "Q1", and "Drop Dead" display a thrashing intensity indicative of future punk acts."
bears more than a passing nod to the stooges....I love it...how music should be ..If I didn't know better I'd say it WAS the stooges under another name
Amazing historic video of fast music!!
This riff reminds me of Discharge's Free Speech for the Dumb, awesome stuff for 1973 and from the murder city!
Almost sounds like the D beat too!
Yes has that same repetitive drum beat that discharge has in basically all there songs but like you said for 73 extremely impressive
@@d112320 Speed metal too!
They were one of the forerunners of hard punk
Al is a great friend of mine, we worked together for many years .....I helped him a few times with some of this great old punk rock and a few times gathering old motorcycle parts!!!! great times!!!!
Sounds like Kim Salmon of The Scientists singing with the Stooges.
Cross between the Stooges and Spacemen 3.
The intro and basic rhythm is Motorhead Ace of Spades.I'm a big Lemmy fan but these guys were out there back in 73.
Vince Wise Krhmmm*Hawkwind*Krhmmm...
do the math
AGREEE FULLY. BEFORE READING YOUR COMMENT, THE SAME THOUGHT CAME INTO MY MIND, THINKING THAT LEMMY FROM SAM BOPAL INSPIRED BY THIS BAND
Overkill came first to mind.
sounds like MC5s Black to Comm sped up
Thrash metal 🤣
Proto Spacemen 3... sounds like Revolution
Riff was taken from MC5 in the first place
An evolutionary link between The Stooges and Motorhead and Discharge.
Great, like Detroit sound, Stooges, MC5.
And Death.
Punk was created in Michigan, take it or leave it.
Detroit's sound , Fantastic !
(Joking) I was looking for something like radio classic rock or something by Pink Floyd and I ended up finding real rock and roll. The owner of this channel has no shame. Fortunately!👍👍👍👍👍
Holy shit this is heavy
Thanks so very much for uploading, It's hard to believe these guys and their type of music existed back in 73 especially when bearing in mind the Woodstock festival was only in 1969 these guys were generations ahead ahead of their time, I understand they broke up in 77 and then the wheels of the British Punk Rock music revolution caught up with them so they reformed, changed their name to "The End " but never managed to crack it. It strange because I can hear similarities to some bands that done very well with a similar sound and style. Motorhead, G.B.H and The Jesus and Mary Chain to mention just a few. Oh and just to finish with, they actually called themselves "The Punks" brilliant.
They weren't ahead of their time, they were *of* their time. Like others have said, this bears more than a passing resemblance to the MC5's Black To Comm and the Stooges' 1970.
I'm surprised that people are so blown away by it like it came from another planet. It is fun to listen to, but it is incredibly derivative of other bands of the time, and earlier. Yes, the Stooges were doing this earlier, and so were the Up, and a bunch of bands. And Hawkwind certainly existed. There were hard British bands like Pink Fairies, Crushed Butler, all kinds of bands that sounded like this for a couple of years already before 1973.
It's like discovering a great lost grunge band in 1992. Yes, great, they sound like Mudhoney or Nirvana and fell through the cracks. That's what everyone was trying to do at the time. The pioneers were the ones doing it first, and this band - good band, yes - was not doing it first.
@@ssteinmetz7783 Dude this is Frantic (singer of the punks) I could not agree with you more, you sound like you grew around us, we grew up on all the bands you mentioned, started watching Stooged MC5 Bob Seger SRC ect the list goes on and on. Was a fuckin magic time for a kid. By 73 almost all these bands had broke up or got out of Dodge. What would you do? We formed our own band called ourselves The Punks 'They were the GodFathers of punk and we were their Bastard Sons' .....Amen
@@ssteinmetz7783 The name Blue Cheer also comes to mind, and they started way back in 1967, but they, too, mellowed out, but I strongly feel like they were in the wrong city--San Francisco was not the kind of place to support a hardcore band like them in those days---they should have moved to Detroit where they would have fit in better with a fan base that would have better appreciated their high energy, and they would have stayed a heavy band
@@impalaman9707 when you say hardcore band and mentioning it in a conversation on punk. Hardcore - punk as a sub genre of punk didn't come about til the very late 70s, first band - ep to be considered hardcore- punk, was released by the Middle Class - out of vogue.* (basically faster and more energetic than 70s style punk rock. The basic difference)
Couple years after the Middle Class came out hardcore punk bands like Battalion of Saints and Minor Threat came through. Minor Threat still probably the most famous hardcore - punk band of all time.
@@colddaze6680 I didn't mean "hardcore" in the sense of a musical sub-genre. Maybe I used the wrong terminology--I should have said "harder edged", as opposed to say--the Jefferson Airplane
They make no bones about the kind of music they play, the name of the band says it all--THE PUNKS! And they wear it well!
I hear Motorhead (Ace of Spades) and Ministry (Jesus Built My Hotrod)!
mirrormundo don't strain your imagination
I have no doubt about it
@@b.3066 Blue Cheer was also an influence, as they were on Pentagram
Love this! I've lived in Detroit all my life.. Im a musician too...and this sounds like The Punks really loved The Stooges( I know, who doesn't?). This reminds me of I Got A Right, which was recorded a year before Drop Dead and played live by the Stooges since '71. Just saying... OH.. and..mirrormundo and yeahproductions hit the nail(s) on the head(s)! Kim Salmon from The Scientists vs. Gibby from The Butthole Surfers singing Jesus Built My Hot Rod with Ministry! Lastly, Ace of Spades came out in 1980!
Whether it knows it or not, Detroit is STILL the breeding ground for the next wave of tending music. Moved there from the East Coast many years ago
Totally amazing. Thanks for posting.
Very interesting. Had never heard of them. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I live in Waterford, MI, and had no idea anything this cool came out of here! Killer stuff!
So far ahead of their time . Classic!!!
Hold on a second, I smell burning...
Revolution...
I want to hear the rest of this comp
love it , so good
fantastic!
The Punks will play anywhere for $1,000,000 plus expenses or Jimmy Kimmel for expenses only (one time only). Yes I'm on drugs but....the offer is real.
Do you accept Bitcoin?
Yes
Franticproductions yes please
You still kickin or what man?
@@someonewithballs Bring them balls over here and I’ll kick ‘em and show ya, I’m still alive.😅lol
This and the band Blast- Damned flames = Aces of Spades. The two band were heavily influenced by the Stooges.
Amazing👊😎
🤘👍👌🤘!!! Grtz. J. 🐈⬛....🇧🇪
This is some of the heaviest fucking music how the fuck am I just hearing this in my 48 yrs of life. And the bands name is The Punk? Can't get any heavier than that
Sick!!!
რა საინტერესოა შექმნის და კეთების პროცესი
EHI GUYS! JUST OUT ON RAVE UP 'LOST AND FOUND 73-77' DOUBLE LP!!!!! CONTACT US SOON!!!! www.raveuprecords.com/
just the right thing for me right now, dense atmosphere of rapture buddies

L.A. Hippie Scene Mixed with Detroits Motor City Harder Guitar play and the PUNCH!
Amazing! Don't know before.. : (
BIG THX!
Hardcore disco 🪩
cool
A Sonic Boom !
The intro to that Madball song sounds like this intro...
I’m sick! I’m soooooooooo sick!
This is good mosh pit music
this fucking kicks ass like the stooges on steroids
I hear The Saints....I'm surprised that stuff like this was being made as early as 73.
+nicky52 Yup, sounds like early Saints stuff (Stranded and Eternally Yours). Voice looks similar to Chris Bailey, too.
nicky52
The Saints-Stranded...yasss!!
Stuff like this was being made as early as 1964 actually.
nicky52 according to Joe Carducci the capital of Australia is Detroit.
Surprised? The Stooges were already broken up before these guys even started
Detroit was the real Seattle
The UK equivalent would be Birmingham with Sabbath, Priest, Zeppelin, Broughton, et al--Industrial towns create industrial strength music. Detroit, Michigan = Birmingham, Warks
Dude where did you download this from? Another band i cant find either
heavy stooges influence here
Very psychedelic
this is a New York Dolls 33rpm played at 45rpm...
1:07 motorhead's bomber.
(rather) Sounds like Motorhead doing The Punks, check your dates, this song !973, Motorhead didn't form until 75-Boooong another one for The Punks - ladies and gentlemen da da !
Misinformation can destroy our world homie!
Fuckin A!
Is it far fetched to say Lemmy possibly could have taken influence or at least known these guys?
Como los stooges? Si hasta el album es similar..solo en portada y en una que otra cancion. Pero me parece que se influyó mucho con stooges hasta perder su esencia real de su banda de The punks al ser similar que los stooges
iggy ... little doll
Clearly derived from Stooges' "1970"
You derived from mama"s womb, does not make you ' just like mama' I grew up as a child watching 'those guys' at local ski lodges and high schools and such, what else could I know?
Drop Dead… siege?
ΜΑΝΥ ΥΕΑRS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME.........
This sounds more Hard Core Rock than punk to me, Great Sounding Music.
This is ok
Gee Chris calm down, don't get so excited
Sounds a bit like an early damned tune
Is there any evidence these guys actually existed in the 1970's?
Quiet Obsolescence YES! I can give you proof, my DAD is one of the members!!
Quiet Obsolescence yes I could give you proof too! One of the members is my DAD. And in this album photo specifically, he’s in the background, with the short black hair. His name is Alan.
@@annawebber1037 that doesn't prove that this band actually existed in the 70's as "The Punks"
@@annawebber1037 you've proven that there is a guy named Alan in this photo and he is your dad. you haven't proven that this band existed in the 70's and that their name was "The Punks". thanks for playing.
Quiet Obsolescence but.. I CAN prove that. The fact they were doing a documentary at a film festival in Canada... also I’ve met every single member, besides Skip. another member of the band was my Uncle Craig, who died a number of years ago...this band DID exist in the 70s. J would know all about it, seeing one of the members is my dad... my entire FAMILY knows. This same band just about 4 years ago now played in Detroit at the Detroit Music Festival. They got back together to do that. They’ve practiced in my dads friends basement. I mean really? I have all the proof you would ever really need...
И это при Хрущёве???
Little doll?
a bit
reminds me..i gotta listen to the first stooges album again
Black to Comm
Can't do it. Total rip off of the MC5 song "Black to Comm"
This was a time when the MC5 had broken up, Stooges gone, (our house bands), what the fuck would you do? We decided to try it ourselves, if you hear the influence Thanks, ripe off not at all, It's like trying to deny where you grew up. This song took alot of ACID and amp's on ten, (funny kinda buzzin going in my head, I see color's flashing all blue and red.......I feel so good, I say I'm gonna drop dead
Franticproductions Fuck yash, is all I can say...
Franticproductions Hey, but I like the name...
Franticproductions
It's heavy. It's good, but personally I'm not heavy on real heavy stuff. The Stooges are my favourite band btw.
Proto punk ,definitely.
Proto hardcore punk??...nooooooooo..
Stooges wannabes.
Thanks Lalala rz Smart person wannabe
ha!! wicked response dude!!
Franticproductions He’s just a fake connoisseur of punk music (and a dumbass). probably a square. This was amazing ;D
Larz Gustafsson no.. your wrong. my DAD, one of the members of this band, (and yea I have proof of this) was for sure NOT a stooges wannabe. He taught himself how to play guitar but the funny thing is, he didn’t have any idea how to read sheet music.
