90s Punk Documentary with NOFX, Offspring, Blink 182, Rancid, Green Day, Bad Religion

BDx13 - 4-4-2007 at 12:07 AM

Robot Academy Films, an independent production company set up by two 22 year old Australian's are currently in production for a film on the 90's punk rock explosion titled One Nine Nine Four.

The documentary which is set to be a full length feature documents the birth, growth and explosion of punk rock in the 90's and features interviews with bands such as NOFX, the Offspring, Blink 182, Rancid, Bad Religion, Lagwagon and many more.

The 2 film makers have been residing in Los Angeles since January shooting interviews and collecting archival footage before returning to Australia this month to start editing. The film will be narrated by Tony Hawk and is yet to have distribution or a release date but will hit the festival circuit in 2008.

A very rough teaser trailer featuring Fat Mike, Green Day, Rancid, Scott Russo is available online: http://www.punknews.org/article/23059

They shoulda called Nineteen Ninety Four instead of One Nine Nine Four. Lagwagon is sweet.

On the other hand, Propagandhi's DVD is going to be incredible, I can't wait to get it. Its over 4 hours long and has a good documentary with it plus a killer track list.

hahaha. most of those listed are 80s bands anyway

Wow, that's really the time period that i had lost a lot of interest in "punk" music. What they should have said was the "mainstream punk" explosion. I love Bad Religion and I like a couple other bands mentioned, but these are really bands that blew up on mainstream success. If I get the chance to see it, I'll watch it out of curiosity, but I'm not going out of my way...

Release. It was put out by Victory. I have a copy somewhere.

Hehe i got the Release VHS and when I got a DVD player I bought a new copy. That was a decent doco, Guerilla Warfare DVD's were way better though.

Fuck that. Every band up there is either straight up horrible or a band that I see as being motivated almost entirely by money and fame. Knowing what you do and don't like isn't having a narrow view, it's part of life. And as for accusing me of narrow tastes, I listen to the widest variety of music of anyone I know. There are certain genres as a whole that I find absolutely unlistenable, but I like things as varied as Honky Tonk and Punk Rock. I dig old Blues, Ska/Reggae, Oi, Hard Core, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Country, Rock 'n Roll, Folk, Shanties, Celtic, Pipes & Drums, Crooners, Soul, R&B, 60's Girl Groups, Doo Wop, Bluegrass, and so on and so forth. Sorry to go off on you, crazyfists, but it severely hacks me off to be told that I'm narrow minded.

Saint, let's be fair... isn't your only gripe with Rancid the fact that they are just doing what the Clash always did? They do it damn good too.

I don't remember Blink 182 being on Release... that joint had all the Victory bands on it and a couple NYHC bands like SOIA and Madball. Some of that posi stuff that was coming out then too.

Far from it. Number 1, ripping a band off blatantly is NOT the same as doing what they did. Second, I don't believe a word out of those fuckers' mouths. Third, they were the biggest two-faced rock star assholes I ever worked with. Fourth, their albums went from moderately bad to ridiculously laughable attempts to recreate their earlier success at only being moderately bad.

ENDERA.x - 4-5-2007 at 03:01 AM

yeah blink 182 were on release lol
i remember asking myself why they were on it.

the Guerrilla Warfare doc's were good I have them on my computer, they were really hard to find.

One of the only punk bands I still listen to, well street punk I guess you could say, are The Unseen. At least out of the ones I liked about 8 years ago.

Six66Mike - 4-5-2007 at 06:31 AM

Blink 182, Mustard Plug, Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls, H20, Lifetime, Sick of it All, Ignite, Battery & a bunch of others band never on Victory were on the Release documentary.

JawnDiablo - 4-5-2007 at 07:50 AM

anyone have that NYHC doccumentary?
the one with rick ta life's ugly mug on the cover.
it was only available on VHS
I never saw it
if any of you could make me a copy of it, i'll hook you up with some goodies.
my goodies are good.

i used to have a copy of release.
there was allot of cool stuff on it
Yuppicide, madball, and a bunch of pretty good stuff.
454 big block....havent heard them mentioned in years....

as for the thing..
i love bad religion up to a point. i dont think i ever really listened to anything after generator.
NOFX had some damn good stuff but i havent heard anything since Heavy Petting Zoo. In fact I don't even know if they're still around , are they?
I liked the first 3 Rancid cds allot but never heard anything after them.

offspring and blink 182 are just nauseating to me though.

I'm sure Rick has a million copies of it in his store-on-wheels, lol. My boy bought it off of him not too long ago and, what a "suprise", it was a copy of a copy and was unwatchable. I've yet to see it, too.

As for the narrow-mindedness comment:
Yeah, a lot of people can be narrow minded when it comes to music, but I didn't really see anything going beyond people saying what they don't like according to there personal tastes. I honestly believe that the bands featured (that were named) were fo rthe most part bands that blew up in the mainstream and therefore I can't take it seriously as a "PUNK" documentary. I love Bad Religion, but at the time they were getting all of that attention they had put out their last (in my opinion) good album up until recently... and even now I don't think it compares to the old stuff. This is also not a "I hate all the new stuff" bullshit rant.

Blink 182? Green Day? Offspring? Maybe these bands started in the clubs and all, but every one of them jumped at the chance to become marketable and chase a dollar and played out an image rather more than a message. That shit's not punk, to me. But just because I don't like that stuff and I won't support them (and never did back then, either) doesn't make me narrow minded. I simply never thought they were any good and actually took them as pretty offensive to the real punk scene.
