It's not easy being in a rock 'n' roll band. The Angels exploded onto the local music scene with the searing guitars of the Brewster brothers and the incomparable showmanship of front-man Doc Neeson. Their chemistry saw them become one of the biggest bands in Australia and on the verge of international success. But their lust for fame fractured bonds and dreams, and when the leader of the band was asked to leave by his own brother, the hurt estranged them for years. This intimate and compelling documentary feature explores the tensions that tore a band apart and helped them produce such classic hits as "Take a Long Line", "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" and "No Secrets".

Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub Docos like The Angels: Kickin’ Down the Door open portals into parts of our pop culture that might have passed us by, but still have a lot to teach us. Just because a moment was short-lived does not mean it wasn’t consequential. Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Garth T I very much wanted to like this. Unfortunately it's more of a documentary about the Brewster brothers and not of the band. It fails to acknowledge the whole being greater than the sum of its parts aspect of the classic lineup (Neeson/Brewster/Brewster/Bailey/Bidstrup) and completely ignores how commercially successful the Bob Spencer reboot was in the early 90s. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
