Anybody seen this? Must be a year ago when this was released but I didn't notice. Trailer looks promising.



(Don't know if this has already been dicussed but the search function didn't show me.)
 
I went to the Detroit premere about a week ago. It was nice. The band and many family members were in attendance. A brief Q&A and poster signing followed after.





As for the film, it is a bittersweet story. I wont spoil anything.


My only criticism is that 10 or 15 minutes could have been edited out. Still worth the watch though.
 
Didn't realise that it was released just a moment ago. Perhaps there will be a chance it's coming to our cinemas then.

can't wait to see it!
 
Yes, it's available on the movie site I linked to watch instantly for $12.99, which would likely benefit the filmmakers more than buying on iTunes. I'd prefer to watch it on the big screen if I had both options though.
 
Got my double secret members-only first-come-first-serve L.A. sneak preview reservation for Thursday night
 
Saw it last night. Amazing story and even the few non-sequitors here and there managed to work. I agree it felt a little long but can't really say which parts....maybe the kids' band?


As much about family as about music.


Not to be too nitpicky - and I realize for movie distribution purposes, "punk" is the more recognizable term therefore more marketable - but they were more hardcore in their sound than punk imo. Anyway.





So....anyone seen Lambsbread live?

It's a short, slippery slope from one to the other. Since there wouldn't be hardcore without punk proper, I can live with Death being marketed as proto-punk - fine with me.
