Radio - Thursday, February 25th, 2021

We put together a special one hour show looking at black artists within punk and punk influenced by black culture. This show is available for download here

We started one of the first all black punk band from Detroit made up of three brothers - David, Dannis, and Bobby Hackney. They self-released a single in 1976 on their own label Tryangle Records and were re-discovered in 2009 at a reunion show.
