Originally named "Raw Energy", that title reflected perfectly what this film was about. It captured what was going on in the London punk scene at street level, through great bands that were actually playing regularly, unlike the Pistols, who had been relegated to no more than a media phenomenom in 1977-78 because, as they talk about in the film, they couldn't play anywhere because of the furore the media had created which caused town councils across the UK to ban their shows. Because this film was capturing a slice of what was going on at the time, it doesn't attempt to be some great all-encompassing film about everything going on in English punk rock, but merely a very representative look at it through one set of groups and people. I know everything I need to know about the Sex Pistols and Clash and the usual suspects, so it's fantastic that they concentrated on groups like the Adverts, Slits, and X Ray Spex, some of the most edgy bands of the London scene, and notably bands that all had women in them or in the case of the Slits, were entirely comprised of women.
