Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A BAND CALLED DEATH chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.
DVD, widescreen (1.78:1) presentation; Dolby digital 5.1.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great story about some great muisc submitted by irenzero on August 25, 2013, 1:30pm A band Called Death is the story of family, faith and rebirth. Detroit in the 70s wasn't ready for a band of brothers making garage punk rock and roll... but years later the world was ready. While the film starts a little slow it's look at the nature of family, faith, and waiting for the world to catch up with what you are doing. If you liked searching for Sugarman, or have any interest in seeing how music can connect not only a family but a scene this film is highly recommended....
