Watch A Band Called Death Movie Online Streaming MegavideoYou can watch A Band Called Death movie in HD without Downloading Free HEREBefore Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death's music - and band name - too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.

A Band Called Death Movie Review | |
| Their story can feel almost too ready-made for the telling, but it's well worth a listen. Nicolas Rapold-New York Times ... a must-watch for fans of punk music, vinyl record wonks, or even those interested ... a visionary entertainment dream. Kate Erbland-MSN Movies [A] generous, spirited documentary [that captures] one of the strangest and most inspiring of all family stories of tragedy and triumph that this crazy country has produced. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com It was fans' ardor that began the Death revival and propels the movie's exhilarating second half. Mark Jenkins-Washington Post If you're looking for a 96-minute jolt of joy, look no further than this uplifting, well-made documentary ... Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times The film is nothing much cinematically, and some of the narrative details and circumstances seemed fudged. But it's a great story, told with a fan's honest appreciation. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Even if you didn't know a thing about the band and you don't even typically listen to the kind of music they play, you're going to find yourself thankful that the Hackney brothers are now in your life. Matt Shiverdecker-Paste Magazine The story of Death sure adds an interesting and virtually unknown footnote to the annals of punk rock. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Still sounding amazingly fresh, the brothers' good spirits and storytelling are as infectiously appealing as their punk rock seems to be a fountain of youth Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com In the vein of Searching for Sugar Man, this earnest and engaging doc again proves that all the best nonfiction music stories aren't tied up in bitterness and acrimony, and certainly aren't related to any level of achieved fame. Brent Simon-Shockya.com More than anything else, the movie is about family -- how we support them and they support us, what we sacrifice for them, how they inspire us and hold us back, what we tell them and what we leave out. Joe Gross-Austin American-Statesman By the end, "A Band Called Death" doesn't just uncover a new chapter in punk history. It lets you to experience it. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE These docs often conclude with some sort of triumphant reunion tour, but it's more heartwarming than usual to see children paying tribute to their parents by covering their ancient songs. Mike D'Angelo-AV Club The music's better than the stories. Matt Pais-RedEye Captures the joy of music, the remarkable influence it can have on future talents, and the importance of appeasing nothing but the creative drive within. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com The film is made impetuously watchable and disarmingly emotional by the filmmakers' strong command of docudrama and nonfiction narrative style. Drew Hunt-Slant Magazine A very good movie about a very bad band! Kam Williams-AALBC.com | |
