Didn't know what to expect from this film, but it was recommended by a friend who I spent lots of time with in the Melbourne punk scene, so I thought it would be worth a shot. Usually films about the punk scene are so off the mark, that no matter whether they are good films or not, people are usually so insulted by the 'fakeness' of them all, that they are disregarded by punk-rock fans. However, this film really manages to capture the punk rock scene to a T! The characters are likeable and realistic, the music is authentic, and the plot-line is so close to the reality of touring it is eerie. The relationship between the two main characters, (singer and lead-guitarist - a relationship that is often tense in most bands) gives this film something more than if it had just relied on the 'road-movie' genre to keep it moving. I really loved this film!
