NOISY BASEMENTS & BARS will take a look backwards to the punk heyday of 1980’s, the birth of hardcore and the indie rock of the 90’s when music was dangerous and all the way up to the present day New Brunswick local music scene.

I know this is an ambitious but I’ve given myself a year to capture what we can.

Slowly I’m inviting folks to sit down and chat on camera and test my hypothesis, of what is and still is a very fertile music breeding ground that has almost but disappeared in New Brunswick, NJ yet somehow is still producing arguably some of the most popular underground music ever.
