Great eye opener on what we're considered a joke band in our elite punk circle ,seem like a decent bunch of blokes ,and have come out of it all pretty well. Funny anecdotes abound if you can't take a joke this isn't for you if it was made a year later it would have mentioned animals near fatal stabbing at the hands of a maniac,I wish em well and thanks for all the laughs.

This is a feature length documentary about British Punk band Anti-Nowhere League. Anti-Nowhere League have the infamous reputation of producing "So What" one of the rudest songs ever pressed to vinyl. Their stage antics and demeanour are also the stuff of rock folklore. The film tells the story of how the band formed as well as their background. The film gets off to a slow start with lyrics from "So What" being read out like a storybook. I think most people who know of the band or are fans of the music will know some of the profanity-laden lyrics. The actual recounting of their backgrounds is absolutely fascinating. It helps that I'm a fan of the music, but tales of biker gangs, bad management and getting in trouble at school are universal themes. The film finishes in present day and shows where everyone is now. It isn't an obituary to the music like a lot of punk documentaries or even a joyous celebration, to me it is like: "it is what it is". The documentary is the longest rockumentary I have seen this year at 103 minutes. I've also seen 'American Hardcore' and 'L7: Pretend We're Dead'. This documentary is a very good documentary if you are interested in Punk, Heavy Metal or a fan of the band. The long running time does make it slightly outstay its welcome and for those with sensitive ears as you would expect there is copious amounts of strong language. If you have zero interest in the music, the human stories and rise to fame story still make it recommended, but in the same way I wouldn't watch a Miley Cyrus documentary you probably won't watch this either. And so what you boring little ....
