Movie Details

An unflinching look at the roots of hardcore punk.

- The film was shot and edited for 5 years with many clips of 80s hardcore bands being sent in by the bands themselves.

- Many of the interviews were actually done in both Paul Rachman's and Steven Blush's apartments in different areas to make it seem like they were done in different locations.
