PROJECT HOME UPDATES COMMENTS FUNDERS GALLERY

The cultural isolation of Spokane, Washington in the 1980s incited a group of bored teenagers to band together and create a punk rock scene that would test the social and moral boundaries of conservative small-town America. This film recounts the creative peaks and the nihilistic lows that were the scene’s legacy, and examines the profound effect the scene had on the participants’ later lives.

Aggressive, experimental music was the mucilage that bound the free thinkers and fringe dwellers together. They were the vanguard of the D.I.Y. subculture, and they culled their unorthodox look from thrift bins and surplus outlets, all the while enraging parents, police, and rednecks alike with malcontent attitudes and upstart behavior.

This coming-of-age story becomes a coming-of-middle-age story as the scene’s survivors take an unflinching look at their past, and reconcile the implications of taking part in the last real youth revolt in America. For some, the results were devastating — drug addiction, death, and a lifetime of alienation. But choosing to stand apart from the crowd back then defined their futures, forging a bond that survives decades and distance, and just may be the glue that holds them together forever.

DONATE! All donations are tax-deductible!

*We are still looking for ANY old Spokane footage (video, super 8, etc.) from the 80s or late 70s. Also photos, audio recordings, flyers, zines, whatever! Thanks!
