Coming to theatres tomorrow, Friday, April 17: SALAD DAYS: A DECADE OF PUNK IN WASHINGTON, DC (1980-1990)
Scott Crawford’s look back at a legendary decade of music had its world premiere at DOC NYC last year. It has also screened at Sound Unseen, Big Sky, and at engagements around the country.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
As a teenager in the 1980s, Scott Crawford began a fanzine documenting the explosion of a distinctive brand of hardcore punk music in Washington, DC, exemplified by bands like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and Fugazi. Drawing from his own immersion in that world, and featuring a who’s who of musicians, label owners, photographers and writers, his new documentary explores the development and evolution of the DC punk scene, and how it shaped independent music and popular culture in the decade that followed.
