Sinopsis
The saga of Dan Cleveland, the hardest-working man in local rock, and his band Dark Horse continues. Several years have passed since the events of "Driver 23" but Cleveland's enthusiasm for his dream of heavy metal stardom has not been dampened in the least.
Antes de Bad Brains, los Sex Pistols o incluso The Ramones, había una banda llamada Death. El punk antes de que existiera el punk, tres hermanos adolescentes a principios de los años 70 formaron una banda, comenzaron a tocar algunos en conciertos locales e incluso hicieron un single con la esperanza de firmar un contrato. Pero esta fue la época del Motown y la emergente música disco. Las compañías discográficas encontraron la música y el nombre de la banda demasiado intimidantes, y al grupo nunca se le dio una oportunidad justa, se separaron antes de poder completar un álbum. Electrizante documental de rock y épica historia de amor de la familia a partes iguales, A Band Called Death narra el increíble viaje de cuento de hadas de lo que pasó casi tres décadas más tarde, cuando una polvorienta demo de 1974 consiguió salir de la buhardilla y encontró un público varias generaciones más jóvenes.

Over a decade in the making, Swagger of Thieves follows rock band Head Like a Hole from the top of the charts to the bottom of a needle. Staring down their age, two pals and the main guts of HLAH, frontman Nigel Booga Beazley and 'co- conspirator' Nigel Regan strut the hard road out of hell, fighting to reconnect and return their band to past glory, amidst disgruntled band mates, a changed music industry, and disappointed wives. Struggling to place past addictions and sabotaged dreams behind them in their continuing quest for rock music relevance, the ever-collapsing binary stars of any Head Like a Hole lineup, are certain (not) to polish their legacy here. Swagger of Thieves captures what it means to be in a band with a reputation. Unrelentingly raw, wild and honest, to the point of being one of the most insightful music documentaries ever made.

Many many words have been written and a few ingenious TV documentaries have been filmed about the great Russian rock band Auktyon ("Аукцыон"), which recently celebrated 30 years of playing music. Everything is completely different in the case of the film Encore: it took seven years for the director, Dmitry Lavrinenko, to make it; he needed just that amount of time to capture the wayward grace still preserved by Fyodorov, Garkusha, Ozersky and their associates. If you look behind the powerful music facade, you find not a story of a band but chronicles of a voyage aimed at incredible, incomparable music. Encore shows how the songs which are now known by heart were composed; it also shows things generally left aside: pieces of everyday life, tour diaries, conversations, including the key phrase: "You should not look at the liberty too much, you might feel dizzy."
Dan Cleveland, a Minneapolis-based rock guitarist/deliveryman meets obstacles to his musical ambitions with uncanny determination, perseverance, and strange "inventions."
