If the following list of groups, bands and acts (The Adicts, Bad Religion, The Damned, The Exploited, GBH, The God Awfuls, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Billy Idol, Minor Threat, My Chemical Romance, NOFX, Offspring, Pennywise, Pogo Atak, The Ramones, Rancid, Henry Rollins, Social Distortion, Stiff Little Fingers, Subhumans, Sum 41, UK Subs, The Used) have somehow found themselves on your turntable or now IPOD then perhaps this doc with plenty of gusto is the perfect outing next to, of course, a live show.
Produced by Susan Dynner (Brick) and Todd Traina (Grace is Gone; Black Water Transit), the film features scores of interviews with dozens of artists, and rare and unseen footage from across the spectrum. The film opens theatrically in select cities around the US, adding cities as audience demand for the film grows.
Sprawling and comprehensive, Punk's Not Dead takes the filmgoer into the sweaty underground clubs, backyard parties, recording studios, and yes, shopping malls and stadium shows where punk rock music and culture was born and continues to thrive.
