I’m about halfway through it, but so far it’s been really informative and interesting. It’s all about the birth and evolution of the indie music scene in the US, with an emphasis on punk, post punk, noise, emo, and what we would now broadly call “indie rock.” Each chapter is dedicated to a different band, highlighting influential acts like Black Flag, The Minutemen, Minor Threat, Fugazi, and my current hyperfixation: Sonic Youth. Check it out and buckle in for a pretty long and wild ride through the history of indie rock.

If you like punk music at all this is a must watch!! Here's the blurb:
Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hoped of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vru_cgNnNv4&t=1077s)
This documentary kind of changed my life I can't even lie to you, and their album ...for all the world to see is really masterful work.

🎸🔥 There’s something pretty wild about the fact that Ben Harding from Senseless Things was rocking a Three and a Half Minutes T-shirt on the front cover of Melody Maker.
We toured with them, supported them at The Square in Harlow and shared the same scrappy, do-it-yourself spirit, and honestly, they were a huge inspiration.
If you loved Senseless Things, or just lived for that era when punk was raw and alive, then check out my book “Three and a Half Minutes of Fame”.

💿It’s a nice little dopamine hit and helps you connect to old familiar feelings of comfort. I started doing this after a bout of pandemic depression and it still helps me get out of a funk every once in a while.
