American Hardcore tracing the history of hardcore in the U.S.

If you are someone who believe that the 80 were only pads, hair combed, glitter, disco, battery plates and dozens of boxes with lots of reverb ... You're slow to see American Hardcore. The documentary, directed by Paul Rachman, has the appearance of hardcore punk in the United States through first-person experience of the principal architects of the emergence of this movement in the early 80's.
In the late 70's the Sex Pistols were succeeding in the UK with lewd and iconoclastic attitude. However, in the United States, punk took a more serious and committed side. "Sid was a junkie vicious nihilistic. And we do not. "So of course puts Ian MacKaye, founder of the legendary band Minor Threat, during an interview for the documentary. So, punk became even more raw and began to "call it hardcore because it was hard, like pornography," according to Bobby Steele of the Misfits. They were young and hated their parents, their jobs and the police or any form of authority. They did not fit with the society of the time or feel represented by politicians. The result of this discontent, more like an escape than a serious attempt to succeed in the music industry, born bands like Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Bad Brains.
Through interviews with Henry Rollins (Black Flag), Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks / Black Flag) and many other members of the scene, and through the use of archival footage, the documentary traces a map of the U.S. hardcore culture, from its appearance in a particular focus to its expansion throughout the country, including a raid on the Straight Edge movement, closely related to hardcore. American Hardcore is to make a radio graph of the birth of a musical style linked to a way of life and what some consider its decline when the violence took too central a role in a very aggressive movement in and of itself. "I did not leave the hardcore. The hardcore left me "Ian MacKaye judgment.
A story worth knowing and sometimes hard to believe, as Henry Rollins himself acknowledges: "It's as if someone was exaggerating when I tell the story. No, never seen anything like this. "
