SLAPSHOT DOCUMENTARY: "CHIP ON MY SHOULDER"

No word yet if any features in Denver yet. I'll let know if there is going to be anY features. Check back for updates...

"Boston, Massachusetts 1985: The first great wave of hardcore-punk bands like SSD, DYS, and Jerry's Kids were breaking up or moving on, leaving a generation of kids and adults inspired and in search of someone, something, or some band to light the powder keg once more.

Enter Slapshot; a viciously unapologetic new take on hardcore-punk that stemmed from the seemingly polar opposite personalities of singer Jack "Choke" Kelley, guitarist Steve Risteen, and drummer Mark McKay and put the Boston scene back on the map.

"Chip on My Shoulder" follows the members of Slapshot through their turbulent twenty-year history, documenting every up and down along the way. It is an unflinching look into the life of a band that was seemingly destined to implode from its very inception. "Chip on My Shoulder" is a story of friendship and betrayal, loss and redemption, self-destruction and sacrifice. Born in the streets and underground music halls of Boston, Slapshot went on to inspire millions worldwide while simultaneously tearing a group of friends apart.

Through hundreds of hours of the band's own archival footage, rare images, and revealing present day interviews comes the true story of one of the most influential hardcore bands of all time. It is a unique look at the ugly side of music-- a side that few people have a chance to see. It is what happens when sanity and stability are thrown to the wind in pursuit of passion, regardless of how destructive that passion may be and regardless of how it will forever change the trajectory of people's lives."

These trailers have been posted before, but in case you missed them I've embedded them below.

Bane/Grade Split 7"

Grade is working on new material and posted this update recently -- "On July 6th we're starting to record a couple of new songs for the At Both Ends Magazine final issue double 7" comp with our old friends from Bane. Shawn, Greg, Kyle and I have been jamming with our good friend Matt Richmond (from the Video Dead and Saint Alvia) for a little while now. What started out as getting together to jam for fun has produced some pretty awesome new songs and we can't wait to get in the studio and see what we can do with them. No plans for reunion tours or albums or any of that stuff right now, we're just having a good time playing together again and we'll see where it goes from here."

Grade released And Such Is Progress, Under the Radar and Headfirst Straight To Hell before splitting up in 2002. They reunited in 2006 for a show.

UPDATE: According to Justin Sitner, vocalist for Unrestrained: "This is going to be a double 7" that also features Unrestrained and Between Earth & Sky."

We'll get more details from him and have them soon.
