The Charms hit signifiers (organ, chintzy brat vocals) more than the thing itself. The “rock me shock me” guitars flop on the bass/drums rather than ride’m.
Young girls, little people, blood, sex ‘n’ violence have been explicitly expressed via song and performance as the Dwarves spill seed into their third decade.
A DVD of clips from bands that dug cool stuff book-ended by ’62 -’68. They were usually fueled by the concurrent snot punk and power pop stuff swirling around.
Recorded the same night as a Grave DVD, this is just as clear, well-produced, and packed full of crushing death metal. Live Grave, it’s the band’s first DVD.
Groundbreaking. Chainsawing. Car bombing. Culture shocking. The Plasmatics flew in the face of convention. Great information thrown together like a scrapbook.
Styx’s pomp, prog, and hard rockin’ lends itself to the orchestral treatment. 115 in the orchestra, 56 in the choir: This is a big, loud celebration of rock.
Professionally filmed, with great direction and better editing, this 70 minute documentary perfectly documents these grown ups getting their rock back on.
In nine years (two full-lengths, an EP, and several singles), this quartet took hardcore to the next level. 061502 presents the last show in the band’s career.
No one can legitimately call this “boring.” “Foul and unwatchable,” maybe, but not boring. Castration, shitting, and old man cock just do not a dull film make.
Like… The Office. Interesting, that one of the stars/writers of this film is Jenna Fischer, the receptionist. Brave, embarrassing, and smart-ass as all hell.
