Cote d'Ivoire(Death)--So this is an interesting band I found, Death were a sort of garage band in the 70s coming out of the Detroit funk scene that predates most of what we consider "punk" music by a fair number of years. Due to a variety of reasons, they were denied by the label and sort of forgotten by history until their children found their demos. There's a good documentary on them called "The Band Called Death", highly recommend anyone watch it.
