Watch: Washington’s 1980s Punk Scene Chronicled In New Documentary

Plans are afoot to release a documentary focussing on Washington DC’s 1980s punk scene. ‘Salad Days: The HarDCore Punk Revolution’ is currently being pulled together by writer/director Scott Crawford, a man who first began putting out fanzines at the tender age of just 12 years old, according to Pitchfork. The film will see Crawford interview many of the same personalities he spoke with as a wide-eyed fan 30 years on.

The documentary is set to feature Ian and Alec MacKaye, Dave Grohl, Henry Rollins, and more, with the official Facebook page stating: ”Salad Days: The HarDCore Punk Revolution’ will be the most comprehensive, honest and insightful look at the DC punk scene from the early 1980s to the decade’s end. The film will include exclusive archival photographs, concert footage and interviews with dozens of bands, artists, label owners, zine publishers and others who helped mold and nurture DC’s underground community during this inspired decade of music.’

Two short teasers have surfaced from the film, set to be released in 2013, both of which you can see below:
