Movie Reviews of Hype!

Movie Review: Ahh, to be there again!
Summary: 5 Stars

Very enjoyable film of the best music scene in the last twenty years - i was 15 or so when i first heard Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger in 1991, a week or so later picked up Nevermind and i was sold. Then it was Mudhoney and after that Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Gas Huffer etc. Still listen to those bands all the time and this film reminded me how good so much of that music was and is. A real nostalgia trip for any 30 somethings like myself who were saved from a Thrash Metal dead end by all things Seattle!

Summary of Hype!

This hip look at the Seattle music scene of the past decade treats the hype with bemused humor but treats the music with respect. Packed with witty interviews with band members, record execs, and Seattle music aficionados, much of the film places a welcome spotlight on the bands that didn't become part of the national "grunge" phenomenon and scores of live clips and rare recordings show that "the Seattle Sound" didn't begin with Nirvana or end with Soundgarden. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy this ebullient rockumentary, and if you're not careful, director Doug Pray's infectious love of the music may even make you one. This video features performances by Blood Circus, Coffin Break, Crackerbash, Dead Moon, Fastbacks, Flop, Gas Huffer, The Gits, Hammerbox, Love Battery, The Melvins, The Mono Men, Mudhoney, Nirvana, The Posies, Seaweed, 7 Year Bitch, Some Velvet Sidewalk, Soundgarden, Supersuckers, Young Fresh Fellows, and Zipgun, and includes Nirvana's first live performance of the grunge anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit." --Sean Axmaker
