Cheap and Nasty #5 MC5 Aftermath 1977–1983: Special Edition

  Following the breakup of MC5, its members went their separate ways, yet none of them abandoned the rebellious spirit that had made the band one of the most influential and dangerous forces in rock. This session brings together some of the recordings they made between 1977 and 1983, revealing how each of them reinterpreted that legacy in their own way.

  Here you'll find the fiery rock of Sonic's Rendezvous Band, the experimental art rock of Destroy All Monsters, Wayne Kramer's solo adventures, the streetwise energy of Rob Tyner, and the projects and collaborations featuring Dennis Thompson, creating a collective portrait of life after MC5.

  This isn't a continuation of the MC5 sound, but the story of five musicians who continued exploring new directions without losing the attitude, intensity, or commitment that had always defined them. A collection of singles, side projects and collaborations that proves the end of MC5 was, in fact, the beginning of another story.
