an inspirational look at the underground scene
this is a documentary about the underground scene.done in murky black & white to show it's undergroundness,this is a good documentary showcasing rock bands who have done it on their own without corporations and selling out.for people wanting to start their own bands this should be somewhat of an inspiration in showing you that there is hope still in being heard,without having to resort to corporations.that is if you aren't in it for the materialism of the world.so i guess this isn't for everybody seeing as there are so many poseurs out there.instead,if you are an individual and not just another sheep in the herd,than i do suggest seeing this.it turned me onto bands i had not heard of such as dub narcotic sound system and the hi-fives amongst others.i also loved seeing footage of the band sleater-kinney who are one of the newer bands worth listening to.so check this out if you're not a hip-hopper or a devotee of american idol garbage.with any hope documentaries like this will inspire more and more people in realizing that creative/experimental and different kinds of music do need to be heard and are much more important than the mindless corporate sludge that is being programmed and forced down our youths throats in fear of peer-pressure.
