Audience Member this movies pretty cool Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member I learned some things about DC punk and rock and roll Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic doc on the DC Punk Scene from 1980-1990 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Really cool, extremely insightful. Growing up listening to sublime, blink 182, and various other bands inspired by the bands mentioned in the documentary, it was really cool to see how one movement shaped the music of the next 20 years. Love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
