Underground sound: Detroit's punk rock history at the All-Star Garage Rock Punk Revue | Clip

Detroit's music scene has always been on the map, but one scene, in particular, grew out of an underground sound that was completely different from the rest. Detroit's industrial-inspired garage-rock/punk-rock scene grew out of a movement that matched the hardworking, blue-collar mentality that Detroit carries.

From the pioneers like MC5, The Stooges and Cinecyde to newcomers like Audra Kubat, GiGi and Sugar Tradition, Detroit's underground punk rock scene is alive and well today, and was on display in August at the 4th annual Detroit All-Star Garage Rock Punk Revue. The 4th annual event spanned two days at the Cadieux Cafe.

One Detroit producer Chris Jordan takes viewers back to the two-day punk rock festival to learn more about the origins of Detroit's punk rock history and how it continues to evolve from festival organizer Smitt E. Smitty, of the 1980s Detroit band Figures on a Beach, and his current projects Little Billy Lost and Smitt E. Smitty and the Feztones, host and iconic radio DJ Michael Halloran, the former host of WDET’s Radios in Motion, and several of the artists who performed there.
