Music

Satan & Adam

The story of the odd duo of Sterling Magee and Adam Gussow looks like the kind of source material that could inspire a sweetened Hollywood movie.

Amazing Grace

The best posthumous tribute to the singer imaginable and an opportunity to see her at a career peak.

40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie

Getting that Rocky Mountain high with a reunited Boulder, Colorado band.

I Am the Blues

A blues fan’s ultimate road trip through the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana bayous.

Bang! The Bert Berns Story | DOC NYC

The tunesmith and record producer’s crowded, busy life and underappreciated 1960s musical legacy form the subject of this tribute.

We Are X

X Japan is the premier Japanese metal band, a mélange of thrash, glam, and symphonic rock.

Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words

This portmanteau of the 1960’s counterculture figure creates a portrait of a prickly, uncompromising man. It eschews the normal rock bio-doc format, and it’s all the better for it.

Breaking a Monster

The 13-year-old members of the heavy metal band Unlocking the Truth are not old enough to attend high school, but they have already signed a $1.8 million recording deal.
