Release Date: April 17, 2015
Studio: IFC
Director: Scott Crawford
MPAA Rating: N/A
Screenwriter: Scott Crawford
Genre: Documentary
Starring: Dave Grohl, Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, John Stabb
Plot Summary: Over four years in the making, "Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC" (1980-90) is a documentary film that examines the early DIY punk scene in the Nation's Capital. It was a decade when seminal bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream, Void, Faith, Rites of Spring, Marginal Man, Fugazi, and others released their own records and booked their own shows—without major record label constraints or mainstream media scrutiny. Contextually, it was a cultural watershed that predated the alternative music explosion of the 1990s (and the industry's subsequent implosion). Thirty years later, DC's original DIY punk spirit serves as a reminder of the hopefulness of youth, the power of community and the strength of conviction.
