Quote:

Along with "Decline of Western Civilization," and (now) "American Hardcore," this is crucial viewing about early US DIY punk. What's weird is that neither Social Distortion's nor Youth Brigade's music has aged very well (Social Distortion being better known for their 1990s roots-punk), and Minor Threat, who are barely in the film, have become the definitive band of this scene. Nonetheless, the live footage of Social Distortion is interesting, because Mike Ness is so corny, and how inept the rest of the band is--he is just begging to be surrounded by ringers. Youth Brigade come across a bit better, slightly more tough, definitely more dedicated and principled: more suburban, but also less self-absorbed. The direction and production is not much to speak of, and the film is not edited for drama the way it would be now, rather telling a very simple story of things falling apart on tour. There are a dozen or so classic moments, the music is OK, and you get to see Mike Ness "get out and push" a bus.

Any portion of the video talk about the Boston scene. My buddy's band was pretty big during that time, The Prolitariat.

Watched it when I was about 15 or 16.

That's a classic. Back when it came out it was hard as fuck to get ahold of a copy here in Florida. We managed to get one tape between like 20 people and it got passed around till it wore out.

Also, it used to play on Night Flight once in a while.

The DVD commentary on the re-release is pretty good, too. It's funny to listen to Mike Ness doing his commentary, he sounds so embarrased as he watches himself.
