Press:

“The immediacy and importance of all the bands is captured in the grainy footage . . . it's completely invigorating. What A History Lesson Part 1 shows that punk rock is not some paradigm to which you can aspire . . . [i]t’s not pretty, but it is beautiful. A History Lesson Part 1 is both vital and essential for understanding why.”
