The Linda Lindas didn’t choose punk. Punk chose them.
“When we started writing music, punk was just a given because we wanted to write whatever we were feeling,” says 14-year-old Lucia. “What we were feeling kind of came out in that way.”
“It wasn’t like we chose punk as a genre,” says Mila, 10.
“But it wasn’t like we had a hard time choosing punk as our genre either,” says Lucia. “Punk gave us a way to write anything we wanted to write.”

Hit So Hard documents the Hole drummer's descent into drugs hell, with plenty of footage of Courtney Love being equally naughty
The first thing to say about the rock doc Hit So Hard is that, really, you've heard this story a million times. The second is, so what? It's a great story. Tell it again.
Nothing's more toothsome than a narcotic-assisted rock'n'roll swan dive from the top of the pops to the bottom of the barrel. Sometimes, as here, there's a late bounce back towards recovery and sanity; but too often, all you're left with is a cadaver choked on its own vomit with a needle still in its arm. The survivor's tale has the compensatory afterglow of optimism, all horrors viewed through the retrospective scrim of rehab and hard-won sobriety. This way you get no corpse, no legendary status, no crowd of ghouls around the grafitti-covered gravestone, but you...

Director: P. David Ebersole Writers: P. David Ebersole, Todd Hughes Featuring: Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, Gina Schock, Kate Schellenbach, Kurt Cobain, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Nina Gordon, Patty Schemel, Phranc, Sarah Vowell Some of you might be asking the same question I asked myself when I first received the press release for Hit So Hard: The Life & Near‐Death Story of Drummer Patty Schemel -- why would I want to watch a documentary about the drummer of Hole? Nothing personal about Schemel, but she is not the first person who comes to mind when I think of Hole. Knowing absolutely nothing about Schemel, I figured that it would not hurt anything for me to give Hit So Hard a chance. Full Disclosure: I am not a fan of Hole (I am more of an early Nirvana -- Bleach and Nevermind -- man myself), so I am probably coming...
