AMERICAN HARDCORE DVD

Paul Rachman's film is bookended by two clips of Ronald Reagan being sworn in for each of his tenures as president, and the director is quick to draw parallels between Reagans leadership and the explosion of angry young men who picked up guitars, drums, and microphones and exploded onto an unsuspecting 80s music scene. Rachman draws on amazing footage of scene leaders such as Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and Black Flag to tell the story, and splices them with interview clips from band members, scenesters, fanzine writers, label bosses, and plenty of the freaks and misfits who were drawn to the pummeling sounds of hardcore. Also MDC, SSD, Bad Religion, DOA, 7 Seconds, Circle Jerks, more.
