Salad Days rides the decade when DIY punk bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream, Void, Faith, Rites of Spring, Marginal Man, Fugazi, and others released their own records and booked their own shows—without major record label constraints or mainstream media scrutiny. Contextually, it was a cultural watershed that pre-dated the alternative music explosion of the 1990s (and the industry’s subsequent implosion). Thirty years later, Washington DC’s original DIY punk spirit serves as a reminder of the hopefulness of youth, the power of community and the strength of conviction.

For the first ever time, Salad Days is screening in the UK.
