The Hackney brothers practiced at their home everyday between 3-6 pm: Bobby (bass, vocals), David (songwriter, guitar) and Dannis (drums).

Originally calling themselves Rock Fire Funk Express, guitarist David convinced his brothers to change the name of the band to Death.

In 1974, the three African American brothers recorded seven protopunk songs at United Sounds Studio in Detroit.

The band's story was featured in the 2012 documentary A Band Called Death.
