If you are not familiar with the band Rocket From The Tombs, they were the fore-runners of The Dead Boys and Pere Ubu. Heralding from Cleveland in 1974, Rocket were raw and explosive live, and, as a matter of fact, the only recordings of the band are from live shows.
With the Clash not starting off until 1976, The Pistols in 1975, and with the Ramones just starting to play gigs in 1974 (and with the SoCal Punk scene still four years away), what say we give Rocket their due, and at least recognize their importance in the same breath as The Ramones! All in favor, say oy, rather, make that aye!
