MC5

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Alongside their Detroit-area brethren the Stooges, MC5 essentially laid the foundations for the emergence of punk; deafeningly loud and uncompromisingly intense, the group's politics were ultimately as crucial as their music, their revolutionary sloganeering and anti-establishment outrage crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening. Under the guidance of svengali John Sinclair (the infamous founder of the radical White Panther Party), MC5 celebrated the holy trinity of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, their incendiary live sets off...[more]

Sundazed pressing of the original master tapes!! While lacking the monumental impact of Kick Out the Jams, the MC5's second album is in many regards their best and most influential--its lean, edgy sound anticipating the emergence of both the punk and power-pop movements to follow later in the decade.

VINYL FORMAT. M.C.5 - the legendary Detroit ?Motor City Five' band, are hailed as seminal pioneers of high-energy rock'n'roll and punk. They first came to prominence in the politically-charged late 60's as the ?Official White Panther Party Band', preaching revolutionary ideology alongside dope, sex and r'n'r. Played the infamous 1968 Democratic Convention that turned into a police riot. Their activist manager, John Sinclair then became a hippie martyr after being jailed for 10 years for possessing 2 joints   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Sundazed pressing. The MC5 was nearing the end of their long and bumpy trail when they cut "High Time" in 1971, and it was widely ignored upon initial release. While it lacks the flame-thrower energy and "Off the man!" politics of "Kick Out the Jams," or the frantic pace and "AM Radio of the People" sound of "Back in the U.S.A.," "High Time" now sounds like the MC5's equivalent to the Velvet Underground's "Loaded," their last and most accessible album, but still highly idiosyncratic and full o   [ read more ]

MC5's second album is in many regards their best and most influential, its lean, edgy sound anticipating the emergence of both the punk and power-pop movements to follow later in the decade. Equally gripping is the record's singular sound ? produced by Jon Landau with an almost complete disregard for the bottom end, Back in the U.S.A. captures a live-wire intensity 180 degrees removed from the group's live sound yet perfectly suited to the material at hand, resulting in music which not only salutes the powe   [ read more ]
