Chris pointed me to this promising upcoming documentary about ‘punk rock’ culture in the nineties, can’t wait to see the whole thing:

If ‘Grunge’ died in 1994 with the death of Kurt, Punk was now the biggest musical style in the world and was reborn into a new body through the likes of Green Day, The Offspring, Blink 182, Bad Religion and the hordes of successful bands on indie labels like NOFX, Pennywise and Rancid. This film documents the 90′s incarnation of ‘punk rock’ from the dark days of the mid 80′s to the resurgence of the East Bay punk scene, the Socal surf and skate movement to the eventual start of the Warped Tour. We follow the stories of the artists, labels, managers and producers that were part of punk rocks most successful time period… Ever.

Deze hilarische videoclip van The Kevin Costners – medehuurders van de oefenruimte van mijn (bijna) ex-band Rise a Thousand – laat wederom zien dat muzikanten tegenwoordig geen megabudget nodig hebben om zichzelf te promoten. Een leuk idee, creatieve vormgevers en natuurlijk een goed liedje volstaan. YouTube doet de rest! Toch?

Bedankt Pascal a Thousand!
