HARD CORE LOGO

“4 Guys. 5 Nights. 3000 Miles. 764 Gallons of Gas. 987 Bottles of Beer. 3457 Cigarettes. 1 Last Shot.”

Bruce Macdonald follows punk bank Hard Core Logo on a harrowing last-gasp reunion tour throughout Western Canada. As magnetic lead-singer Joe Dick holds the whole magilla together through sheer force of will, all the tensions and pitfalls of life on the road come bubbling to the surface.
