Recent years have seen the revival of Death, a long-forgotten band from Detroit whose unearthed recordings hint at the shape of punk that was still to come.
Now, following recent reissues on Drag City, the group took to U.S TV for an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show last night. They performed “Freakin’ Out” ahead of the release of compilation album Death III, out today and streaming via NPR.
