This documentary made me feel old and young at the same time. Old because it seems like ages ago that I started to listen to Agnostic Front and other hardcore bands, and young because this music just keeps you young, maybe not physically but in your mind for sure. Ian McFarland did a great job with this documentary. It's just excellent, with great archive footage from the early scene but also interesting interviews about the things that are happening right now with Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma. If you love hardcore you will love this documentary, but even if you're not into hardcore you still might enjoy this well made documentary. Hardcore, it all looks so violent but for those that are in that scene from the beginning they just know it's all a big family with loads of fun and laughter. I miss the early days and The Godfathers Of Hardcore brought a little bit of those days back to me and for that I can't thank them enough.

Hardcore unity.
Beautifully crafted portrait of two punk rock icons.
Agnostic Front fans, punk fans, hell...even your parents will love this. Ian has made something truly special. Do yourself a favor and check out this incredibly well made film. Easily one of the best rock documentaries I've seen in recent years.
Powerful and Moving
The Godfather's of Hardcore show why Agnostic Front are the forerunners of HC. The film was moving, it showed the reason they are loved by so many and there music is timeless. To see these guys just like you would anyone else on the street. It truly captured what I feel when I listen to them. A beautiful piece of cinema.
