It’s live and loud. It’s urgent and proud. It’s more than two-dozen young, energetic bands caught in the act and making the music and moments matter in hot, crowded, amped venues scattered across L.A., London, New York City and elsewhere. It’s big hair, little hair, guys, girlz – with music styles ...
Great video
Pros: Quality video image, Good sound
Describe Yourself: Movie Buff
I thinks that this is the first DVD release of this movie. I saw it years ago in theaters and for me it's been impossible to find a DVD since then. The Police looks great, Devo offers a great performance, UB40 is great, Gang of Four is unfortunately misrepresented with a not very hot song and a quizzical rendering of it, but fortunately, there are lots of other bands (maybe twenty something) that balance the film and make it a classic, a real synthesis of a whole generation of music. You may find all kind of genres and styles, ska, rock, punk, reggae, and some extra nut performers that who the hell knows who they are... but it's fun and, all and all, "Urgh! A Music War" is a classic. Highly recommended purchase, especially because there is no way to get it somewhere else (forget about Netflix). I just love it.
