CBGB

As previously mentioned, the CBGB movie will premiere at this year’s CBGB Music & Film Festival, which goes down across various NYC venues from October 9 to 13.

The tracklist for that movie’s soundtrack was just revealed, and while there’s not too much you don’t already have if you’re already into this stuff, it should make a great classic-punk 101 for anyone who’s yet to have discovered these gems. The soundtrack will feature classic tunes from Talking Heads, The Stooges, Dead Boys, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Television, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs, New York Dolls, The Velvet Underground, Johnny Thunder & the Heartbreakers, and more. Plus, there’s some live tracks, demos, and alternate versions of songs from other beloved bands like Blondie, MC5, The Dictators and more. The soundtrack will be out on October 8 via Omnivore Records physically and Rhino digitally.
