Have you seen the film ,"Los Punks - We Are All We Have"?? Seek it out before ,or after hearing this podcast for a look at a burgeoning underground backyard party punk scene that's been going on in South Central East Los Angeles ,for some time now! This is the unofficial,unauthorized soundtrack to that film,as one is not yet available,nor may it ever be.Hopefully,this podcast gives a glimpse into a small scene that is being ,and has been,repeated the world over ,since the advent of punk rock music. Most of the fans and bands in this riveting documentary,sport mohawks,liberty spikes,patches of uk street punk bands on their leathers or denims,chains,boots,spikes,and in sound some of these bands ape the uk street punk scene in it's mid -80's heyday ,but the influence of West LA ,Venice bands ,can't be denied,or overlooked.Some of the bands here have the classic "Suicidal" sound ,while others have taken the crossover-thrash metal sound ,farther into metal territories ,some even branching out into death or black metal.A lot of the interviewees in the film ,either band members or fans of the scene ,echo the same sentiments as o.g. punks did in the day ie: Punk saved my life,punk is an attitude,punk accepted me when others wouldn't ,punk rock gave me a family ,etc.The movie's subtitle ,comes from The Casualties,a NYC band that started in 1990.Their 2009 album is titled "We Are All We Have ",and it is one of the songs from that lp.The band appears and performs in the film,and they too,have that uk street punk ala Exploited,GBH,Cockney Rejects ,type of sound and look ,that a lot of the latinos in the film are inspired by..Punk rock is life ,and has been mine since 1975 ,when first reading about the New York Dolls ,The Ramones,and other happenings in NY (in CREEM magazine!) ,and the scene beginning in the UK at the time.Please,enjoy this special edition of WGOD ,and if you do anything else before you die,make sure that seeing this film is on that bucket list! Thanks to Angela Boatwright for bringing this documentary to life,and to Nacho for catalyzing a vibrant music scene!
