Social Distortion

Since this film is set in the 1970s, Social D. and Sparklehorse sound a bit anachronistic, but songs by Nazareth, Sabbath and Hendrix perfectly capture the feral attitude of yesteryear's backyard pool-barging revolutionaries. Rise Above's sketchy Black Flag cover could make Keith Morris turn in his grave (were he dead).

This soundtrack to the film account of Venice, California, skateboarding pioneers doubles
as a righteous collection of Seventies rock that mostly bypasses overplayed oldies in favor
of less obvious anthems ripe for revival. Social Distortion respectably cover the Clash but
prove themselves no match for T. Rex's "20th Century Boy" and Nazareth's insanely rocking
"Hair of the Dog."
