Watch The House of the Rising Punk

The House of the Rising Punk is a drama biography film that was released in 2008. The film looks at the underground punk scene that later became known as the CBGB scene. The film looks at some of the first bands to start the movement, and the punk scene grew to become one of the most popular subgenres of punk music. The film looks at these bands as they became more popular, and started to play at venues that were not use to punk music. It also looks at how these bands dealt with their personal demons, and an audience that they felt increasingly indifferent to.
