On the Road

The concert scenes and band interviews are interesting, but the story is very contrived and less than convincing. It was a good idea to try it, but it really doesn't work. If you're a Wolf Alice fan, it's worth watching, if not, don't bother. I gave it a six because of the band and music. Without that it would be barely worth a 2.

So I'd heard of the band without hearing much of the music if any really but the way this film engaged me was with the live sequences, the sound engineer at the shows and the sound recordist on the movie captured a really excellent live sound, the story is well shot but maybe not needed, this is an honest view of a hard working band on tour in the UK, unglamorous and real. I enjoyed it. I reccomend it to anyone interested in the band or interested in what it's like to be in a touring band. I totally geeked out on all the guitars but I'm a guitar nerd. Watch it if you like the reality of touring and for the rawness of the music, I'm now a fan of wolf alice and shall be searching for their vinyl albums at the weekend because I happened upon this film.
