| | sarah 07/04/2010 | | One of the best films to capture the early California punk scene and raw talent of young actors. Chris Pedersen delivers his first and most compelling performance as Jack Diddley. If you love TSOL or any of the early Califorhia punk bands-see this movie. Extras for the film include members of Sin 34. |
