"Nirvana," the "White Stripes," "Hole," the "Hives" - all sprang from an underground music scene where similarly raw bands, enjoying various degrees of success and hard luck, played for throngs of fans in venues ranging from dive bars to massive festivals, but were mostly ignored by a music industry focused on mega-bands and shiny pop stars. "We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001" tracks the inspiration and beautiful destruction of this largely undocumented movement. What they took, they fought for, every night. They reveled in 50s rock 'n' roll and 60s garage rock while creating their own wave of gut-busting riffs and rhythm.
