DVD Reviews of Hype!
DVD Review: Yup, That's how it was!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hype really captured the time well. Seattle was a magical place to live in the late 80's and early 90's. There definitely was a greater creative energy that took over the town although most of the "Grunge" thing and the label itself was created by Hollywood. Seattle has always been a city that doesn't pay much attention to what other city's cultures are up to. We live under our own overcast (literally). We've always had a great music scene. It doesn't always jive with what Hollywood is paying attention to. But in the early 90's it did and they came and swept up a few of our more prolific bands. Suddenly the world was wearing flannels and wool hats and Doc Martens, even if they lived in 90 degree weather. Go figure. If you want to know a little more about the scene, this movie is a great place to start and see the life that inspired great bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. You will see rare early footage of Layne and Kurt. Hopefully, you'll also take the time to check out a few of the other bands featured in the movie, bands that didn't quite experience the same success but made some amazing music nonetheless.

DVD Review: Ahh, to be there again!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very enjoyable film of the best music scene in the last twenty years - i was 15 or so when i first heard Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger in 1991, a week or so later picked up Nevermind and i was sold. Then it was Mudhoney and after that Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Gas Huffer etc. Still listen to those bands all the time and this film reminded me how good so much of that music was and is. A real nostalgia trip for any 30 somethings like myself who were saved from a Thrash Metal dead end by all things Seattle!DVD Review: Amazing Document!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was by far one of the greatest Grunge documentary I have ever seen. If you are a fan of a ton of Seattle bands, or want to learn more this is the product for you! I loved it, recommend it to anyone. Enjoy.DVD Review: Great documental!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Very well structured, it really analizes all the grunge movement from his very first beggining, not just a typical commercial film...DVD Review: Hyped good!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great surprise. . . When you think you've heard, watched, read, or seen everything having to do with the greatest art form ever, grunge, something like Hype! comes along. And it's like discovering Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, or L7, all over again.
And the Seattle scene is captured perfectly.
Description of Hype!
Traces the history of grunge music, and includes live concert performances and interviews with various bands.Genre: BIOGRAPHY
Rating: NR
Release Date: 21-DEC-2004
Media Type: DVD
This hip look at the Seattle music scene of the past decade treats the hype with bemused humor but treats the music with respect. Packed with witty interviews with band members, record execs, and Seattle music aficionados, much of the film places a welcome spotlight on the bands that didn't become part of the national "grunge" phenomenon and scores of live clips and rare recordings show that "the Seattle Sound" didn't begin with Nirvana or end with Soundgarden. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy this ebullient rockumentary, and if you're not careful, director Doug Pray's infectious love of the music may even make you one. This video features performances by Blood Circus, Coffin Break, Crackerbash, Dead Moon, Fastbacks, Flop, Gas Huffer, The Gits, Hammerbox, Love Battery, The Melvins, The Mono Men, Mudhoney, Nirvana, The Posies, Seaweed, 7 Year Bitch, Some Velvet Sidewalk, Soundgarden, Supersuckers, Young Fresh Fellows, and Zipgun, and includes Nirvana's first live performance of the grunge anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit." --Sean Axmaker
