      Reviews Out of Time: The Material Issue Story examines the tragic story of a rock band on the cusp of superstardom cut short by front man Jim Ellison's suicide. The film tells the story of Material Issue, a power pop trio from Chicago that was literally out of time, sandwiched between the post-punk era of the 80's and the alternative rock movement of the 90's searching for its identity in the gritty world of rock and roll. Material Issue were a prominent power pop trio from Chicago in the early 1990's, and were most notable for their debut album International Pop Overthrow and singles: Valerie Loves Me, Diane, What Girls Want, and Kim the Waitress. They were contemporaries of some of rock's biggest bands, including the Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, the Pretenders, Liz Phair, and INXS. The film features original band members Mike Zelenko and Ted Ansani with the first interviews of the family of Jim Ellison since his passing along with others that helped shape the world of the band including Jeff Murphy, Joe Shanahan, Jay O'Rourke, Jeff Kwatinetz, Matt Pinfield, Steve Albini and more.
