      Jack M One of the best films capturing the LA punk band "X" and Los Angeles of the eighties. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Not well organized, but locals of LA or X will like it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member a slice of LA a slice of my life in LA awesome trip down memory lane Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An absolute fantastic documentary of a truly great and talented punk band (can they really be called Punk???), X: The Unheard Music deals mostly with the early days of X, during the late 70s in L.A. when Punk Rock was at its peak. How John Doe (an extremely underrated singer, bass player, and actor), met Exene Cervenka (a poet with no singing experience whatsoever), discovered classically trained drummer D.J. Bonebrake, and befriended rockabilly-revivalist Billy Zoom. The rest is simply history. One of the most unique bands ever (thanks in large part to John Doe and Exene's harmony, or lack thereof) with its origins bathed in rockabilly and Doors-ish mysticism, Unheard Music portrays X as a band that should have been bigger, and far more known. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member i love this movie too Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Epic! Captures the band, their history and their respective highs and lows perfectly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Sean Axmaker Seanax.com Shot over a period of five years or so by W.T. Morgan, it is a lively, playfully-directed, scrapbook-style portrait of the seminal L.A. punk band of the eighties... May 22, 2016 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It's more or less a loose scrapbook about the band, with live performances, videos, interviews, and other tidbits thrown in.
