Documentary about New Jersey's Adrenalin OD
9.14 Pictures and Don Argott, the director of Rock School have begun filming a documentary about New Jersey's Adrenalin OD.
The documentary/mockumentary film will
chronicle the history of the influential New Jersey hardcore band Adrenalin
O.D. (aka A.O.D.) through rare archival live footage, and interviews with
band members, fans, and the bands they have influenced.
Adrenalin O.D. were
around from 1981-1990 and are credited with being one of founding fathers of
the suburban hardcore movement of the 80's. Aside from being one of the
fastest bands ever to come out of hardcore, their tongue in cheek, sarcastic
sense of humor and hillarious live shows have influenced many succesful
bands including NOFX, Screeching Weasel, Anthrax, SOD, and Metallica.
The
film will include interviews with NOFX, Keith Morris, Jello Biafra, Bouncing
Souls, Channel 3, Jesse Malin (DGeneration /Heart Attack), Steve Zing
(Samhain) John Stabb (Government Issue), and Electric Frankenstein to name a
few.
Adrenalin O.D. officially
disbanded in 1990 however have reunited several times since for sold out
shows, the last being at CBGB's in August 2005 with the Dead Boys, Flipper
and Peter and the Test Tube Babies.
