The MC5 is an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan and originally active from 1964 to 1972. The original band line-up consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson. "Crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening", according to Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the MC5's far left political ties and anti-establishment lyrics and music positioned them as emerging innovators of the punk movement in the United States. Their loud, energetic style of back-to-basics rock 'n' roll included elements of garage rock, hard rock, blues-rock, and psychedelic rock.
Michigan based MC5 (= Motor City 5; Motor City = Detroit) was one of the first bands who started a prototype of what would later be called punk rock today also known as protopunk. Founded by the two friends and guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, the band is best known for the controversial song "Kick Out The Jams" from their debut album. The whole album was recorded live with audience on December 31st at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit a novelty for a debut album, but MC5s label, Elektra Records, recognized that the band were at their best when playing live. And soon went into some trouble with the title track: Vocalist Rob Tyner started the song with the words "All right now, its time to Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!" before the opening riffs. For the single release and radio play the line was later re-recorded as "Kick out the jams, brothers and sisters". During the years the song was covered by various artists in different musical styles, from hard rock (Blue Öyster Cult), hardcore (Bad Brains) and stoner rock (Monster Magnet) to Swedish death metal (Entombed) and Japanese garage punk (Guitar Wolf).
