Some of those guys still play in the Polish Muslims, who have a couple CDs out. Art Lyzak's mom Lili ran one of the first and best punk clubs in Hamtramck, called Lili's of course.
Brian T. Kirchner said:The band that ruled the alternative scene in the mid-'70s to the early '80s was The Mutants. Unfortunately, all they left behind was two singles and a cut on a Detroit comp. A later incarnation of the band released a six-song e.p. Humorous rock and roll similar to the early Dictators, though they date back to the late '60s. J. Kordosh of Creem magazine was the bass player(John Amore). They are quite possibly my favorite band of all time.
They weren't originally from Detroit but didn't Bantam Rooster move there?

Hey, the Joe Dirty tunes are my favorites so far, too.
Is this the same Joe Dirty from the Dirtys (from Port Huron)?
I love that band.

Looks like you guys have just about everything covered. Check out www.beehiverecording.com, free downloads. A friend and veteran of the detroit garage rock scene, Steve Nawara, recently started this recording company. A particular favorite of mine is The Joe Dirty Show.
Yes, good pick. The Amino Acids are the top surf-punk band in the area.--------Amino Acids ... hell yeah ... Robble!
Thanks, Stacy Ann, for sharing the Beehive site. There are some great bands on there (and who doesn't love free downloads of non-crappy music?).
You're right, though, in that we've pretty-well covered just about everything.
Now, we'd wind up going down the road that the Boss Mustangs did and start naming "smaller" and/or "newer" Detroit bands that haven't quite blazed a huge wake yet. We could compile a huge list of these great Detroit bands.
The Ruiners and Bad Indians are two good ones from Mustangs' list that I agree put out some very cool music in the GP vein (plus, both bands reside in my little town of Ypsilanti quite often: the town Iggy Pop grew up in).

The "supergroup" Destroy All Monsters were pretty cool. Featured members from MC5 and The Stooges among others.
