“From Elvis in Nashville” - Sony Legacy Recordings

SEVITA “Derike & Adam”

This is a story about a man’s constant desire to uncoil every day stresses through his love of music; how the simple act of writing has the power to recharge his batteries, inspiring him “… to give his wife an extra kiss on the cheek,” as he so genuinely puts it. His home studio is a quiet place he can draw from the stories and experiences of those around him he loves most.

Robert Huke & Jr J.R. Roach Introspective in nature and genuinely appreciative of the world around him, this brother is a kind person seeking to leave the world a better place. The story of his move from inner-city​ New York to central Massachusetts, the discovery of internal peace through nature and meditation, and the constant effort to give back to his community are covered.

For over 35 years, Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma have shared something inside they couldn't scream loud enough. Something they couldn't play hard enough. Something they couldn't stop, even if they wanted to. Agnostic Front is the combined roar from the hearts of two guys who have fought their whole lives, and whose pain, passion and power helped ignite a movement.

Starting in the 80s on the streets of the Lower East Side, Agnostic Front rose to play a key role in defining, shaping, and establishing the sound and code of conduct for a still-thriving, now worldwide culture. Today, Roger, 54, and Vinnie, 63 remain the very embodiment of hardcore, representing endurance, perseverance, brotherhood, strength against oppression and the will to keep going—obstacles be damned.

THE GODFATHERS OF HARDCORE is currently streaming in the US & Canada on SHOWTIME, The Movie Channel, and Crave as well as on SkyArts in The UK. You can purchase the film worldwide digitally on Vimeo OnDemand or buy it on BluRay here .
