About this album

Kick Out the Jams is MC5 at their most confrontational and influential, a live debut that turned Detroit rock into a revolutionary statement. Recorded in 1968 and issued in 1969, it captures the band’s loud, politicised garage-hard-rock attack at full voltage, with the title song becoming one of rock’s great openers. Backed by the MC5’s firebrand stage presence and political edge, the album helped bridge 1960s counterculture and the harder, faster sound that would feed punk rock. Its notoriety, energy and historic importance have made it one of the defining records of underground American rock.
