Before Blink, before Fall out Boy and before the bastardization
of pop punk into what I now refer to as mall punk there was the Descendents and
All, the original pop punk band(s) with up tempo songs about nerd heartbreak. It’s truly crazy how
many bands starting in the mid 90’s totally hijacked the sound these guys
created but never with even a fraction of the humor and intensity that the
Descendents and their sister band did. Filmage, the long-in-the-works
documentary about Descendents
and ALL, has a new preview up
on the internet alongside some news that the filmmakers are planning to work
the festival circuit with the movie, as well as holding public screenings in
cities around the US this year, though the only specific city mentioned so far
is Fort Collins, CO. You can read the full update on the film's website, here and watch the preview
below…
