Review: American Hardcore


American Hardcore

Starring: Ian McKaye, Gregg Ginn, Henry Rollins, Greg Hetson, Mathew Barney


Directed: Paul Rachman



Excellent documentary "American Hardcore" shows the influential musical moment when a defiantly anti-commercial underground put a distinctive U.S. stamp on the punk movement. Mirroring in propelling force and visual aesthetic the music (and poster/album cover art) itself, sharp survey brings an insular, now largely sometimes forgotten scene back to vivid life. Just as in the early '80s, however, hardcore remains an area of fervent interest to a few, esoteric at best to everyone else.  I think this movie shows allot of musical history and if you care anything about music, i recommend watching this movie. If you are not into hardcore, punk rock i still recommend watching this for the of the history in which one of thee most political, hard, fast paced music still is growing today.
