Towncraft looks at the importance of local scenes in a changing music world and the exciting music that emerges from smaller cities across the country when communities come together. Much like in Austin, Seattle, Athens and Chapel Hill, an underground-Rock scene emerged in Little Rock in the late 80s and has served as a vibrant center of the city's culture ever since. Unlike other towns, Little Rock's scene was composed almost entirely of kids. 14-18 year-olds were booking their own shows, starting record labels, opening record stores and playing with large national acts. The film focuses on the roots of the Little Rock scene, how it changed the lives of those involved, the enormous DIY ethos that has shaped the scene for the past 20 years and how the scene continues to thrive as pioneers hit their mid-30s.

| User ReviewPrivate ULittle Rock. Punk rock? Think these two don't mix? Towncraft is a documentary about the greatest, little rock scene in America. Starting with wild and hardcore punk bands like Trusty and Chino Horde to modern indie groups like the American Princes and Ho-Hum. All out of Little Rock. Any punk rock fan, music historian, or just hopeful Arkansan needs to see this movie. |
| User ReviewAaron EI was really into being in a scene when I was a teenager and in my early 20s, so I can appreciate this movie greatly and I was around to witness the tail end of the Belvedere era, and it was great. I used to attend some shows there in the late 90's. I enjoyed the first hour of this movie the most, and the ending kinda lost me. It is a nice story about a developing scene and how it took everyone to create it. I wish they would have spent some time on the bands I really liked though. Full Service Quartet anyone?
