Showing my ignorance here but I have never heard of them. Sorry.

KOTJ was one of the songs that introduced me to Punk Rock as a young teenager.

Now would be a great time to give them a try?

One of the most influential bands coming out of the most wonderful period for music. I haven't listened to enough MC5 in my life, but I've heard enough to know of the amazing guitar sound from WK.

No need to apologise, but being able to hear MC5 and KOTJ for the first time is an envious position to be in.

This says it all.
