Boston Beatdown:
See the World Through Our Eyes
Volume II
Due out June 22nd on Crosscheck
Records

"Intense. A documentary about the hardcore punk scene
by the people who wrote its history"
- Al Barr (Dropkick Murphys)
Boston Beatdown has teamed up with Los Angeles-based
"http://www.crosscheckrecords.com/">Crosscheck Records
for the release of their newest DVD documentary, entitled,
Boston Beatdown: See the World Through Our Eyes-Volume II.
Their first DVD, self-released Boston Beatdown Volume I
became an instant underground success and sold out in a matter of
months. Although, available only through the Boston Beatdown
"http://www.bostonbeatdown.com/">website and the
backpacks of the Boston Beatdown crew, the limited edition DVD soon
made its way into markets across the world.

Described as "brutal" and "intense," Volume II delivers
an all-out assault on those whose perceptions of reality are
blinded by mainstream media. Accomplishing what its title commands,
Volume II forces its audience to witness and experience the
dark and often violent world of the underground hardcore music
scene. It is a documentary on a world frequently ignored and
overlooked by traditional society, a culture of music, violence,
family and respect.

By combining live performances and interviews with some of the
most intense violence caught on camera, Volume II is a
unique opportunity, afforded by its creators, to "see the world
through their eyes." Be it the mayhem of a show, the
violence of its aftermath, or the chaos of an ensuing riot,
Volume II has captured it for the world to see. From the
attack by hardcore kids on singer Moby to the sewing up of
stab wounds on a living room couch, no other hardcore documentary
has ever been so honest and real.

"From the first punch to the last chord," Volume II
delivers a non-stop, in your face, visual and auditory glimpse into
the dark and violent world of underground hardcore and punk rock.
Featuring live performances and interviews from such bands as
Blood for Blood, Death Before Dishonor, and
Righteous Jams, and featuring never-before-seen
footage from bands such as Wrecking Crew, In My Eyes
and Ten Yard Fight, this sequel DVD has, in many eyes,
already proven itself to be the hardest and most graphic look at
the hardcore scene ever. Backed with exclusive interviews by
founding members of Boston 's notorious
F.S.U. gang and scored by a soundtrack of some of Boston's hardest music, Volume II, tells the
story and history of Boston hardcore from past until present.

On the verge of its release, the Volume II DVD has
already acquired the support and respect of some of the biggest and
most legendary hardcore and punk rock bands in the world, including
the Dropkick Murphys, Hatebreed, New
Found Glory and Give Up the Ghost (formerly
American Nightmare), and has already received substantial
press, including a news segment aired on Boston's WHDH-NBC news,
and an upcoming national NBC broadcast of that segment. Hyped up on
Internet message boards and fanzines across the world, the
anticipated release of Volume II has already spawned an
upcoming worldwide tour of the bands featured on the DVD, as well
as the reunion of one of Boston 's most legendary hardcore bands,
Wrecking Crew.
