Cleveland's Screaming Trailer

Back



Cleveland's Screaming is a documentary movie about the Akron and Cleveland, Ohio hardcore punk scene of the early 1980's. Documentaries about punk rock always focus on what was happening in London, New York or L.A. But me and my friends didn't live in "happening" places like that. Like thousands of other kids all over the country in those days, we made our own scene in our own town out of nothing.

Sad, very sad. there was no "scene" in Cleveland, give me a break. Cleveland is a blue collar town that kicked the punks out as soon as the posers showed up. That was ofcourse 2 years after the punk movement started. It is NYC and LA for trends baby, the rest of the places just copy it a few years later! HAHA. the Phantasy theatre as the place were dieing bands played because they knew the rust belters would still think it was cool!

Awesome! Great to finally see something about the scene I grew up in. Seems to get skipped in all other doc's. Keep it up!

How did you grow up in this? This "scene" was in 77-78, you were 6!!! The 'scene" you grew up in was a bunch of posers copying NYC and LA from 5 yrs before!

translation: "waaaah! waaahh! I'm a malcontent internet troll whiner who wasn't there and doesn't know shit, but will make a vain attempt to be an authority." sorry- cleveland had punk bands in 1974 like the mirrors and it (d)evolved into hardcore by 80/81 just like it did in LA or NY. just because it stayed relatively internal doesn't mean it didn't happen, ya knob. quit talking out of your ass and stick with subjects you know about.
