blood, sweat & vinyl: diy in the 21st century - trailer
dir.: kenneth thomas

live concert footage, exclusive interviews, and historic documentation focusing on 3 fiercely independent music labels and their bands.

featuring neurosis, isis, godspeed you! black emperor, pelican, oxbow, evangelista, thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra, cave in, and many others whose music and art found ideal homes in the artist-run record labels of hydra head, neurot, and constellation.

these labels combine hard-to-define, heavy music with a visual aesthetic that has enraptured worldwide fans, without the need for radio or corporate media outlets. they uphold the legacy of treating music as an art form, not as a product.
