D.I.Y. Punk

Punk-rock by its nature is a do-it-yourself endeavor. These bands were destined to play together from childhood, and epitomized what could be done in a short time. Take the ride and bask in the spirit of raw and unpretentious rock ‘n’ roll.

A Band Called Death

A Band Called Death (2013) is directed by Mark Christopher Covino and Jeff Howlett. It is the unlikely story of three brothers whose contribution to the origins of punk-rock went virtually unnoticed for decades. It is interesting to see their start-up story, and what caused it to fade away. Their rebirth is all the more miraculous.

We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen (2005) is directed by Tim Irwin. Minimalists from the start, The Minutemen etched out their originality against the opposition of a forged genre. The rhythms and arrangements still keep their music fresh and relevant. The documentary is blessed with lots of great music and commentary.
