Rock

Detroit rock bands have helped develop and optimize the Detroit underground music scene as well as supply the current sound of the recovering city. These Detroit rock bands are following in the underground footsteps of such acts as Iggy Pop, the White Stripes, the Dirtbombs, and other pioneers of the Detroit garage punk list modern times.

Some of these artists are currently or have been on the cutting edge of music for decades and are just now making their way into the lexicon of music snobs around the world. Detroit rock bands have always been seen as an embodiment of social unrest, rich musical roots, and a general disdain of the condition of their beloved city. Much of the strife of past and present Detroit is present even in the younger generation of Detroit rock bands who paint a picture of the sometimes overlooked and always entertaining Detroit underground.
