Editorial Review:
The new bohemians. "Slaves to the Underground" is a fresh, honest and free-spirited look at life on the cutting edge. Set in the alternative subculture of clubs and coffeehouses, the story centers on a romantic triangle--Suzy, the brash lead singer of an all-girl band; Jimmy, an idealistic writer; and Shelly, who is torn between them. Features the music of Interscope Recording artists Red Five, Lifer and Polara, as well as Elastica's Abby Travis, Ani DiFranco, Mike Martt (with vocals by Suzie Gardner from L7), Stone Fox, Evil Stig (featuring Joan Jett) and many others.

Rating:  - This movie is about my life at its craziest-
in other words, it reminded me exactly how crazy my life is generally. (I saw it on the big screen in NYC.) Full of sex, music, zines, emotional baggage, neuroses and love tringles gone bad, I'd recommend it to any twenty-something out there who has problems with cultural and/or political norms (you know who you are). If you fit that bill, you too will likely think you're watching your life on screen. Both a critique of pop culture and, even more so, of those of us who do our best to ... Read More
