Interviews, incredible live performances, and humorous interludes with Circle One, Symbol 6, Wasted Youth, Red Cross, TSOL, The Cheifs, Sin 34, Fear, Circle Jerks, and Henry Rollins, Chuck Dukowski, Robo & Dez Cadena (Black Flag) .

The DVD includes a gig flyer gallery and a running commentary from David Markey, Circle Jerks' Keith Morris, the Minutemen's Mike Watt, and We Got Power's Jordan Schwartz. A history lesson from the So Cal early 80's hardcore underground. See the Los Angeles Hardcore scene explode, and in retrospect connect the dots from 1981 to 1991, The Year Punk Broke.
