Scatterbox Celebrate 20 Years With A Documentary

You don't need to look it up, there is only one hardcore punk band from Idaho that has been around for twenty years. SCATTERBOX hold that sole distinction and having released seven full lengths and several EP's/singles, they now present a feature film documentary celebrating their existence. The film features their 20th anniversary live performance at The Big Dipper in Spokane, Washington, interviews with past and present members, as well as, behind the scenes and tour footage.

Black State Productions/Blackhouse Records Ltd. will release the Jason Frost directed doc on November 11th on both Blu-Ray and streaming on Amazon Prime in North America and Europe. Check out the official trailer below.

Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow, Bunuel, Whipping Boy) comments on SCATTERBOX, "Vintage AND new the music rises above the merely nostalgic to make you want to spray paint the walls, grab your skate, and fuck shit up. And with several and copious nods to post-punk sensibilities [via song titles, design aesthetic], it dawns that SCATTERBOX should be a lot bigger than they are with their heartfelt pre-post take on all of the loud fast rules. But they should be a lot of things probably: not living in Idaho, getting real and paying jobs, cutting out that racket. However, it would be our sincere hope that they continue existing for the sheer and pure fact that they make hard music to play well look easy and sound like they fucking mean it in the process, which is much, much more than 98 percent of the things you’ll hear this week that’ll work their way into your brain pans. 

"Hardcore the way hardcore was played when it meant something to play it. We love these fucking guys. And you should too."

The band is currently in the writing process of what will be their next full-length record, scheduled for release in 2023, with tour dates to follow.
