A comprehensive and sometimes harrowing portrayal of the grind a working bar band in the 1970s had to endure to get by.

Dee Snyder is charming and the movie is crammed with great archival footage of the band, ranging from their early days as a David Bowie cover act to their jamming onstage with Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead on British TV.
