Mc5 Shorts
Description: MC5 was an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan, in 1963. The classic line-up consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson. MC5 were listed by Parade as one of the best rock bands of all time and by VH1 as one of the greatest hard rock artists of all time. The band's first three albums are regarded by many as staples of rock music, and their 1969 song "Kick Out the Jams" is widely covered.
Description: Built around the raw voltage of late-60s Detroit rock, Motor City Detonation channels the explosive attitude that made MC5 one of the defining forces of proto-punk. The artwork mixes roaring engine imagery, a vintage stage microphone, electric guitar energy, distressed Americana colors, and a chaotic concert-poster feel.
