Scion A/V Premieres Comprehensive Documentary New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times November 22

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Reputable purveyors of compelling niche music, Scion A/V has made it's first foray into feature length cinema with New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times, a gritty cross section of one of rock's most exciting subgenres, garage. Produced by Scion and Vice, the film will premiere in three parts on Scion A/V's website Monday, November 22nd, Tuesday the 23rd and Wednesday the 24th and then will stream in its entirety on Scion A/V's website as well as VBS.tv, the webcast arm of Vice Magazine, on Thursday the 25th.

After a brief nod to garage's humble beginnings amongst American youth in Detroit during the 1960s and its contribution and influence on '80s punk, the documentary focuses on the scintillating present. As it pans trans-nationally, the camera profiles artists like the late Jay Reatard, Black Lips, The Dirtbombs, TheeOhSees, SmithWesterns, VivianGirls and many more in an attempt to understand not only the exponential ascent of garage rock's popularity but the reason these people feel so passionately about it. A wide-eyed glimpse into a musical movement, New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times is as much about the music as it is about the people contributing to the distinct scenes of the San Francisco, Oakland, Detroit,NewYork, Memphis, Atlanta, and Portland garage communities.

VBS directors JosephPatel and AaronBrown worked with producer/journalist MikeMcGonigal to offer a particularly in depth examination of a multi-dimensional and often misunderstood slice of popular culture unfolding in front of us. New Garage Explosion!!: In Love With These Times is a candid snapshot of this magically vibrant moment in rock history, inspirational and brimming with DIY purity.
