As many of you know, punk and hardcore changed my life by showing me that through resourceful independence people can build their own scene and be creative on their own terms. Ed Colver shot some amazing photos of the hardcore scene and the picture below became the cover for Steven Blush’s excellent book “American Hardcore”. Anyone who cares about the influence of indie music should check out this event.

LIFE REMOTE CONTROL is 90 minutes of ruthless quick-fire positive brainwashing from the front line. Critics complain of a generation, raised on commercials, cable TV, and music videos, has lost its
attention span. This movie sets out to prove that our visual impatience is not a weakness; it is our greatest strength. No one can pull the wool over your eyes if they’re pointing in two different directions at once.
Film features the Artistic Innovation of: Shepard Fairey, Banksy, KAWS, WK Interact, Ron English, FAILE, Brian McGee, Malcolm McLaren, Space Invader, Monsieur A. and many more…
