Release

About This Movie

So, 'Release' is this raw dive into the punk and hardcore scene of the late '90s. It’s got this gritty, no-frills vibe that really captures the energy of the bands involved. You’ve got acts like Bad Religion and Blink-182 giving their takes, while the whole mix of performances feels chaotic in the best way. The pacing is pretty relentless, matching the music itself—just when you think you’ve settled into one sound, it jumps to another. It’s not just a collection of performances; it’s a glimpse into the culture, the DIY ethos, and the sense of community that thrived back then. The practical effects, if you can call them that, are just the realness of the scene itself, no overproduced nonsense here.
