Punk rock was born out of the Midwest in the late 1960s the disillusion of the Vietnam war mixed with an economic downturn left many feeling abandoned socially and politically. During this time Detroit bands such as Iggy Pop and the Stooges, MC5, and Death, would break through born out of blues rock but with more aggression and irreverence. Where many of the early punk bands incorporated a sardonic tilt to their music Death the only African American band of the proto-punk era would bring far more political and social aggression as well as more technical virtuosity as they were originaly a funk band. Death was the direct line from which Hardcore would be born harder faster, and more aggressive than other genre of punk with a keen focus on community and expressing your dissatisfaction with the status quo as loudly as possible. And that is were our men of the hour Militant Defiant come in, a Tyler based band first introduced to me by my brother I saw them live in the short lived Dead Street venue where I knew I was witnessing and participating in something special. So come with me as we go and meet Militant Defiant.
