Punk: Attitude DVD
08/23/05
.
(press release) The birth of Punk has been glorified in countless flowery recountings, but never with the insight and gritty realism of Punk: Attitude. In this definitive punk rock documentary, releasing September 6 on DVD, the actual tale of a three-chord revolution is revealed in all it's chaotic splendor.

Director, Don Letts, (creator of the Clash feature, Westway to the World) premiered this authoritative history of the punk movement at the Tribeca Film Festival to critical acclaim, and continues on the film festival circuit with screenings scheduled at the Toronto and Los Angeles Film Festivals, as well as broadcasts on IFC July 9th and again September 1st.

Packed with a bounty of seminal artists and characters, Punk: Attitude fearlessly forges through the murky sludge of punk's primordial ooze. Featuring interviews with Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Tommy Ramone, David Johansen and a colorful cast of luminary narrators, Punk: Attitude delves into the roots of punk, borne of the Velvet Underground, MC-5, and the New York Dolls, connecting the musical dots from the 70's London scene to New York's CBGB's.

Vintage footage and archival performances of the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Clash and the Damned are unearthed in this fascinating feature, revealing the explosive power of punk on the rise. Excavating deep below the surface, Punk: Attitude also explores the impact of less-celebrated, but wholly fascinating figures from punk's colorful past. The uprising of hardcore, Boston straight-edge, and punk's Reggae connection are insightfully studied, focusing on Fugazi, the Bad Brains, and Sonic Youth, as the stage is set for Seattle's post-punk nirvana. From the outrageous fashion of the safety-pin aesthetic to the comical disorder of the Great Rock & Roll Swindle, this is punk rock, in all its frantic glory.

This two-disc set boasts three hours of additional footage including, "Where Are They Now" feature, up-to-date bios on the artists profiled in the film, Punk "family tree, a virtual who's who in the past and present punk scene, California Screamin' "Behind the Masque" article by Don Waller, Henry Rollins interview, Dave Goodman feature and additional pieces which include The Attitude/Spirit Of Punk, The Influences/Origins Of Punk, Punk On Culture And The Arts, UK Verses The US, Punk Evolution, The Gigs/Performances And The Punk Sounds; as well as an exclusive L.A. punk scene featurette produced by Capital Entertainment. With a suggested retail price of $39.98, Punk: Attitude is a must-have for any audiophile.

Capital Entertainment presents the highly anticipated DVD release of Punk: Attitude on September 6, 2005. Raw, loud, and irreverent, this is the naked truth of the history of punk, and the musical anarchy that overthrew the status quo. God Save the Queen.
