New Punk Documentary in the Works

[Jason Tate]

A documentary, One Nine Nine Four, chronicling "punk" music in the early ninties (and including interviews with Green Day (http://www.absolutepunk.net/greenday), Bad Religion (http://www.absolutepunk.net/badreligion), Lagwagon (http://www.absolutepunk.net/lagwagon), Rancid (http://www.absolutepunk.net/rancid), and blink-182 (http://www.absolutepunk.net/blink182)) will be released sometime next year (http://www.spin.com/features/news/2007/04/070402_punkdoc/).

I'm a documentary junkie. I should enjoy this.

[Nolessthanblink]

I guess that this will be a straight to dvd thing yes? Or perhaps limited release in theaters? I wonder how old these interviews are too... Hopefully they're new!

RTFA. Seriously, it's like 5 sentences. Your questions are answered.

Really looking forward to this. As someone on punknews pointed out, the title's kinda lame. No offense to 1994 (the above user or the year).

[Tom Good]

anyone see American Hardcore? That is a great documentary too. I hope this is just as good.

[AShannon04]

hmm, no Offspring :-|

[bradsonemanband]

ooooh blink 182

[stryet]

i'm excited for this...its all the bands my brother raised me on...

[ilovebsb]

[Rizzox58]

was blink even around in 1994?

[Neo Cassady]

was blink even around in 1994?

Indeed.

Cheshire Cat was released in '94, along with a slew of other albums that defined that era "punk"-wise: Green Day's Dookie, Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction, Rancid's Let's Go, NOFX's Punk in Drublic, The Offspring's Smash, and so on.

But then again, kids at PunkNews think everything is lame.

[Adam Pfleider]

if it's like American Hardcore i'm down...

if it's like Bastards of the Young...fuck...

[ProjectMayhem33]

Kind of lame Tony Hawk narrates.

[captainamazing4]

this sounds really interesting actually. i definitely will see this :]

[jcarter]

I am so glad someone is finally doing a documentary about this time in music. When I was in high school I remember going to Berkeley Square and seeing bands like Skankin Pickle, Operation Ivy, Green Day, AFI, Pennywise, and Rancid. A lot of the time they'd be on the same bill. Gilman, Berkeley Square, and places like that were great spots to see history in the making back then.

[cory-182]

I get excited when I hear about some new involving blink-182 nowadays. This is the "punk" music most of us grew up on so this should be very interesting and nostalgic.

[sheisarebel]

Yay!! I find music documentaries pretty interesting and informative.

[sell the sunris]

Isn't a similar documentary in the works called Punk's Not Dead? I know it's not focusing on the 1994 explosion, but I think all the mentioned artists are being interview for that one as well.

I would love hear old ones though too.

[Low Level Owl]

this is kinda off topic but not really...i've always wondered if the guys in blink still kept in touch with bands like pennywise who helped them out early on in their careers. anyone know the answer?
as for the film, it should be interesting.

[oldskool]

best era EVER

[james77]

sounds good. i'm still waiting to see "punks not dead"

[bloodyr0mance87]

this seems like it could be really interesting, i'm definitely checking this out when it comes out

[chrisstahl]

no offspring? smash ?

hello???

[DaveHallow]

Everybody stop worrying about Offspring. As much as I don't like them they are definitely included in teh documentary. I know for a fact Jai (Dude making film) has already interviewed Dexter.

[DRUMMERGIRL121]

im looking foward to this

[marksescon]

I like how punk is put in quotations.
