DOC ROCK

2 March 2009

I am a music documentary junkie, too many favorites to name, and these new films have really piqued my curiosity. It is hard to make a truly compelling music documentary unless something riveting and completely unexpected happens along the way to ratchet up some level of tension and drama. These  films far apart but have a similar misunderstood sadness to them.  Both have career clocks whose alarms have either gone off long ago (while the snooze button continues to get hit) or have a clock ticking loudly throughout the film.

Check them below:

Here are 2 documentary films about a rap genre known as Nerdcore:

NERDCORE FOR LIFE

NERDCORE RISING

And last but not least is a documentary on a metal band named ANVIL that could not catch the break afforded so many of their peers at the time.
