Description

The incendiary Detroit quintet MC5 (the MC stood for Motor City) burned briefly but brightly at rocks cutting edge in the late 1960s and early 1970s, building a reputation of high energy, high volume performances. They were seen as a hugely influential force on punk music and in the words of Rob Tyner (lead singer), MC5, were Punk, before PunkNew Wave, before New WaveMetal, before Metal even M.C before Hammer

Released in 1970 Back In The USA was their first studio album, following their live debut Kick Out The Jams, it features covers of the classic Little Richard track Tutti-Frutti and title track Back In The USA by Chuck Berry.
