When the Ramones first performed “Blitzkrieg Bop” at Cbgb some 44 years ago, no one could have imagined the song would be heard in virtually every stadium and in multiple TV spots for mainstream products like Coppertone, GoPro, Peloton, At&T and Taco Bell.
And punk rock, the genre of music that the Ramones and so many others ushered in, seemed destined for an equally short shelf life. Yet despite its built-to-self-destruct ethos, punk rock has not only endured, it continues to attract fans both old and young — anyone who’s read this far has probably already heard about the dust-up between Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon (aka Rotten) and former Ramones drummer Marc Bell at an onstage Q&A last week to promote the film, which is at turns hilarious, pathetic and ridiculous, and often all three at once.
Two current documentaries illustrate the genre’s remarkable durability and continued relevance:...

Punk rock may have began in the 1970s, but there was a revival in the 1990s that brought forth many new bands who have become the main influences for today’s artists. It was the heyday of Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords, whose artists brought punk music to a wider audience by seeking originality, while at the same time keeping to the core values of the genre. They added a heavier, yet more melodic sound to the music. These bands gained widespread fame through soundtrack appearances on Tony Hawk video games, appearances on Warped Tour in the early years, and appearances on multiple cheap compilations (Fat Music, Punk-o-Rama, etc.). Bands such as Lagwagon, Rancid, and Strung Out have paved the way for today’s popular artists like the Menzingers, Rise Against, and Frank Turner, amongst many others.
Many of these bands haven’t released a proper full-length studio album since the early-mid 2000s,...

Aside from the disappointing performance of The Five-Year Engagement, it's been a pretty quiet year for Jason Segel, who seems to be taking a breather after pouring all of his blood, sweat and tears into The Muppets. He will also appear in Judd Apatow's This is 40 in December, but aside from that there has not been much immediately on the horizon for him. This week, however, 20th Century Fox has picked up a project that he is setting up with the help of screenwriter Drew Pearce (No Heroics). The movie is a fictionalized adaptation of the documentary The Other "F" Word, which revolves around punk rock musicians becoming fathers. Segel is currently attached to star... we can only hope Paul Rudd will show up to "slappa da bass" as well. According to Variety, Fox acquired the pitch in a "competitive situation", which may or may not mean there was a bidding war involved.

Here’s a scripting team-up we’re not sure many could have predicted: Forgetting Sarah Marshall / The Muppets co-writer / star Jason Segel and Iron Man 3 scribbler Drew Pearce have hatched a deal to adapt Andrea Blaugrund Nevin’s 2011 documentary The Other F Word into a new film for Fox.The doc talked to aging punk rockers (including the likes of Tony Adolescent, Jim Lindberg, Joe Escalante, Flea, Lars Friedriksen and skateboard legend Tony Hawk) about how Lindberg’s life in particular changed from being a raging anti-authoritarian to taking on the biggest challenge: becoming a dad.Nothing is known about the film’s plot, though given Segel is starring, we figure it’ll follow him as a bloke trying to figure out fatherhood for the first time as he reconciles it with his past. After all, he has some experience of screen fatherhood as Marshall in How I Met Your Mother.

Getting old is a bitch. When you are a tattooed, pierced and foul-mouthed punk rocker . getting old.s even more of a pain in the ass. These troubles were captured by documentarian Andrea Blaugrund Nevins. 2011 film The Other F Word, which caught up with aging rockers like Blink 182.s Mark Hoppus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Flea and Pennywise.s Jim Lindberg as they settle into fatherhood. For those of us who grew up on the catchy beats and jangly guitars of bands like Nofx and Everclear, and are now trying to raise our own kids, F Word was pretty compelling. Jason Segel also hopes that the material can be pretty funny. The Muppets star reportedly is co-writing a comedic pitch riffing on The Other F Word with Drew Pearce, and the duo has sold the pitch to 20th Century Fox, according to THR.

Based on the book “Punk Rock Dad” by Pennywise frontman Jim Lindberg, The Other F Word takes a look behind the punk rock scene and into the homes of some of today’s punk rock heroes. Gone are the nihilistic days of lore, the days of sex, drugs and anarchy. The punks we grew up with are now grownups themselves, parents teaching their own kids the ways of the world. Director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins explores what it means to be a punk rock dad today. At times hilarious, at others heartbreaking, The Other F Word is the story of changing lives within an ever-changing subculture.

The process of rebelling is often against your own past and, in that spirit during the magic of SXSW, The Other F Word is a compelling documentary I happened to stumble into after being talked out of seeing a different film on the bus ride over to the theater. The documentary chronicles punk rockers turning 40, having families and having to tour to pay the mortgage (to the man!).
Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins‘ The Other F Word opens around the country this month and next via Oscilloscope Laboratories. The Film Stage sat down with Nevin, her producer Cristan Reilly and director of photography Geoffrey Franklin and talked about the process of capturing the intimate lives of men who have spent a good part of their lives creating a mythology about themselves.

A version of this review first ran as part of our coverage of South by Southwest 2011.
When Roger Daltrey first sang "My Generation" and said he hoped he'd die before he got old, just how old was he talking about? The guys's 67 and not only is he not dead, he's still singing that song. That's the weird thing about rock stars: they get older but their songs -- and their fans -- stay the same age. When Jim Lindberg started the punk band Pennywise, he was 23. Now he's in his mid-40s with a wife and three young daughters. On stage, he's still the same obnoxious guy he was two decades ago, still singing about effing authority. Off stage, his big concern is making sure he's home from touring in time for the big father/daughter dance. Reconciling those two sides of his personality is hard and getting harder.

One day you're on stage violently gripping a microphone to your mouth to enrage an audience of thousands with lyrics demanding that all walls of authority be torn down. The next day you're gently gripping a milk bottle to your baby daughter's lips while softly warning her older sisters to get ready for bed or there will be consequences. Ah, life. In director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins' upcoming documentary debut The Other F Word, punk rock legends including Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, Flea of Rock Hot Chili Peppers, Tim Mcllrath of Rise Against, and Jim Lindberg of Pennywise grapple with reconciling the responsibility of Fatherhood with their public identities as mouthpieces for anarchy, destruction, and not giving a f***. While it's hilarious to enjoy mohawked and tattooed punk rock stars succumbing to the whims of their adorable children while...

An absolutely fantastic trailer has just come out from Oscilloscope Laboratories, the rising distribution company set up by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, for the latest film they’re putting out, The Other F Word.
The documentary is set to be a brilliant look at the new roles that some of punk-rock’s biggest heroes have taken up after wearing that other f word, Fatherhood, like a badge of honour.
“This revealing and touching film asks what happens when a generation’s ultimate anti-authoritarians — punk rockers — become society’s ultimate authorities — dads.

I’ve never understood the phenomenon of tattoos and always pondered how those covering their body with them would feel a decade or two later. That question and more is tackled in the punk rockers-turned-fathers documentary The Other F Word. Director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins follows around such rockers as Blink-182′s Mark Hoppus, Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea and Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath as they make the transition from stage to nursery. We saw it at SXSW and you can read our positive review here with the new trailer below.

Watching Generation X turn 40, facing the consequences of a drop-out lifestyle lies a contradiction. How to you keep your edge while putting food on the table for your family? In your heyday, when it was just you, there were no bills, mortgage, dresses for the father-daughter dance, homeowner association fees, medical bills, etc. There was booze, cheap hotel rooms and rock-n-roll.
The problem with the punk ethos is a fear of selling out – which, having a family may require such a change. If you are going to raise your children in a middle class suburb, you have to tour. And tour these guys do – often spending over 100 nights of the year on the road

Most rock-centric documentaries fall into one of two camps: the hagiographical tributes to artists that frame and justify a performer's failings within the larger picture of his battles for success, and the warts-and-all examinations that tend to use the excesses of said performers as evidence of the inherent vapidity in the field. A good example of the former is pretty much any episode you ever saw of VH1's "Behind the Music," which today airs sporadic episodes profiling chart-toppers like 50 Cent but between 1997 and 2006 would spend 44 minutes running every conceivable artist through the same template of success-excess-redemption. For the producers of the series, drug abuse and infighting were an end in themselves. On the other side of the spectrum, you've got fascinating documentaries like Dig!, a riveting look at the egotistical brawling between the members of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. The film is utterly engrossing, but...

We all know what the “standard” version of a father figure is supposed to look like, sound like, and do for a living, but what about those kids who preferred getting tattoos and outrageous hairstyles to express themselves? What happens when those punk rock kids grow up? Get married? Start families? When people who are known for stirring the pot and pushing their boundaries suddenly become role models? But as it happens, we all grow up eventually, some of us just happen to do it with tattoos emblazoned across our foreheads. The Other F Word delves into the world of fatherhood with a punk rock twist and does so with such heart and honesty by the end of the film you just see a group of dads, regardless of their outward appearance.

While I claim to be a tomboy and up until the age of 22 or so I couldn't imagine having babies (I was scared to even hold one lest I drop it), lately my ovaries have been crying out every time I see a tiny pair of shoes. Thus, when I saw the synopsis for The Other F Word at SXSW, I knew it was a documentary I Had to see; it's a narrative following various iconic punk rock musicians around as they discuss the responsibilities and life-changing aspects of going from anarchist role models to daddies.
The film is directed and written by Andrea Blaugrund, a strong female who rocked a leather jacket and motorcycle boots at the premiere. She is obviously in love with counterculture, and had been friends with Jim Lindberg of Pennywise for a long time. She was made...

This is a brilliant idea for a documentary: how do punk rockers, the ultimate symbols of anti-authority, deal with the pressures of the 'other' f word, fatherhood, the ultimate position of authority? That's the subject of "The Other F Word," directed by Andrea Blaugrund Nevins and based on the memoir "Punk Rock Dad: No Rules, Just Real Life" by former Pennywise lead singer Jim Lindberg. Lindberg's friend (and eventual "F Word" producer) Cristin Reilly read the book, loved it, thought it would make a good movie, and brought it to Nevins.
I spoke with Nevins, Reilly, and Lindberg about the film and fatherhood (can you believe Lindberg brought his daughters to Austin for SXSW? Now that's a cool dad) along with Morgan Spurlock, who serves as "The Other F Word"'s executive producer.

Austin, TX – So what is exactly ‘the other F word? A documentary directed by Andrea Blaugrund aims to answer that question by following a handful of aging punk rock musicians, and rebellious figures, who over the course of their lives decided it was time to settle down and take on the challenge of, fatherhood.
The film follows Jim Lindberg formerly of Pennywise, and features interviews with Blink 182′s Mark Hoppus, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea, Tony Hawk, and more, as they open up about family life, and conforming to the institution that they once rebelled against.
The Other F Word with it’s focus on musicians, seems fitting for SXSW. It will screen at the following times:
Sat 03/12 @ 8:30 Pm (Alamo South Lamar – 1120 South Lamar Blvd)
Mon 03/14 @ 9:00 Pm (State Theatre – 719 Congress Ave)”
Thu 03/17 @ 4:30 Pm (Vimeo Theatre at Acc -500 East Cesar Chavez Street, Austin, TX) http://www.

Fontana, California — Travis Barker was born in Fontana, making it a sure bet that he felt a sense of homecoming as Blink-182 made their only North American appearance of the year at California's Epicenter 2010 Festival in that very town. The trio's hit-packed set closed the two-day event on Sunday following performances from Rise Against, 30 Seconds to Mars, Against Me! and more.
Afternoon temperatures reached 110 degrees in the racetrack parking lot where Epicenter took place, but the crowd's enthusiasm never seemed to wane, thanks in part to a steady stream of water misters and water cannons. Epicenter 2010 kicked off Saturday with Eminem (in his only West Coast appearance this year), Kiss and reunited alt-rockers Bush, among others.
