Darby Crash is a punk rock icon who passed away on December 4, 1980. His death by an intentional heroine overdose was overshadowed by the death of John Lennon, just one day later. Crash was the co-founder of seminal Los Angeles punk rock band The Germs, which initially included Pat Smear and The Go-Go’s Belinda Carlisle (who never got to play live with the band due to illness). Directed by Rodger Grossman, What We Do Is Secret (2007) is a biopic starring Shane West (Red Sky, TV’s ER, A Walk To Remember) and Bijou Phillips (Almost Famous, Hostel Part II), which retold the story of Crash and his notorious band’s swift rise and crash to a new generation. Los Angeles natives will appreciate this nostalgic trip down punk rock history and the nod to legendary DJ, Rodney Bingenheimer of KROQ.

The new material also sounds a bit tidy next to the classic L.A. punk tunes by the Weirdos, the Bags and X that have been added for the sake of local color, though Alice Cooper‘s “You Drive Me Nervous” tips the hat to an obvious influence and anyone who knows Crash‘s story will appreciate the two David Bowie tracks that open and close the album. -Mark Deming, AllMusic.com

“Switch,” a thorough and sober-minded documentary about the past, present and future of energy. –Washington Post
Lakeshore Records is pleased to release the soundtrack to Switch, featuring the score by award-winning Composer Brian Satterwhite (Man On A Moon: Richard Garriott’s Road To The Stars, Sushi: The Global Catch) — out now on iTunes. The CD will be available on February 10. As part of the Switch Energy Project, Switch is a documentary about changing the way we use energy, to realize the many economic and environmental benefits of efficiency. “Since all of these energy sources are connected, so is the music. I didn’t take a ‘paint-by-numbers’ approach applying a characteristic sound to each idea. They’re all connected so they all share similar sounds,” said Satterwhite.
Directed by Harry Lynch (Ride Around the World, Making the Modern) and featuring energy expert Dr. Scott Tinker, Switch has garnered film festival awards from around the world, including “Best of the Fest” at the Colorado Environmental Film Festival, “Official Selection” at the Savannah Film Festival, and “Official Selection” at Life Sciences Film Festival 2014 in Prague, to name a few. Switch is now screening around the globe: check the Switch Website for a screening coming near you.
