Please ignore the marketing on the DVD cover and any references to Spinal Tap, this is NOT the punk-rock Spinal Tap. OK, it's a very funny movie and shot in the fake documentary style, but it's not irreverant or satirical and definitely not a comedy.
Followed by a film crew, an aging and defunct punk band reunites for one last Western Canada tour and hopefully last hurrah. Director Bruce McDonald is a master of the "Canadian road trip" flick and with Hard Core Logo combines it with Canada's underground punk music scene. Real life rock band frontman of The Headstones Hugh Dillon lends credibility to his role as Hard Core Logo's frontman Joe Dick. (Now an award-winning actor, this role was one of Dillon's first.) Charismatic and handsome Callum Keith Rennie plays Dick's childhood friend Billy Tallent, who has been slated to join a much more successful rock band after this final Hard Core Logo tour. Troubled bass player John Oxenburger (John Pyper-Ferguson) gradually loses hold of his sanity and then there's the buffoonish drummer (aren't they all?) Pipefitter, perhaps the most well-adjusted of them all.
It's a gritty, funny, poignant film and as quintessentially cool Canadian as you can get. A must-see! You won't soon forget Hard Core Logo's final shot, I promise you.
