30th Anniversary!

Joe Dick, Billy Tallent, John Oxenberger and Pipefitter are Hard Core Logo, Vancouver’s legendary but now defunct punk band. Joe coaxes his former bandmates to overcome personal differences and reunite for a benefit concert for their aging punk mentor Bucky Haight, who had been shot in Saskatchewan. The enormous success of their coming out of retirement/benefit gig prompts Joe to urge a reunion tour. A documentary film crew headed by Bruce McDonald accompanies them on tour through the pristine landscape of Western Canada. On stage, the Hard Cores are brilliant. However, as the tour unfolds, the band’s old, buried tensions erupt, and the boys are faced with the raw fact that they cannot relive nor alter the past. A raw, realistic look at a band; the music that binds them, the love and anguish that tears them apart and the tour which takes them there.
