A one-hour documentary made by German filmmaker Wolfgang Büld, Punk In England was filmed in 1980 as punk was fading out, and attempts to capture the scene at a point of transition from a revolution to the pop mainstream. The film is the second part of a trilogy, following Punk n London, and records the […]
This trailer for the upcoming Lee “Scratch” Perry documentary The Upsetter came out this weekend, but seeing as we’re such huge fans we figured better late than never. If you consider yourself an appreciator of music, then there is probably little need to introduce Scratch — considered by many to be the Grandfather of Dub […]

Like the Snow White’s re-edit he did awhile back, all sounds come […]
