Descendents Put The Hardcore in 'Godmoney' Soundtrack
Batman And Robin may feature this
summer's most star-studded soundtrack, but
it's not the most hardcore.
That honor goes to the collection of music
for the upcoming film Godmoney, which
includes the punk rock likes of the Rollins
Band, Pennywise, the Descendents, Dance Hall
Crashers, Voodoo Glow Skulls, MxPx, Blink 182
and Down By Law. The album boasts 22 tracks,
eight of which are unreleased, and lands in
stores Aug. 12.
Godmoney marks the feature-length debut
for independent filmmaker Darren Doane, who
previously made a name for himself directing
music videos for bands such as Pennywise,
Dance Hall Crashers and MxPx. Sandy Sawotka,
spokesperson for V2 Records, which is
releasing the soundtrack, calls Godmoney
a "tough, gritty" film.
Rick Rodney of the band Strife (also on the
soundtrack), plays the lead role of a young
New Yorker fleeing west in an attempt to
leave his life of drugs and crime behind.
"Without giving away the end of the film, I
would say it does not work out well for
him," Sawotka said.
Godmoney will make its premiere at the
Toronto Film Festival in September, but
hardcore fans will get an advanced preview
on this summer's Warped Tour. The tour will
feature a Godmoney tent showing
15-minute movie clips, along with soundtrack
contributors Pennywise, the Descendents and
Blink 182 on stage.
