Film Review: 'What We Do Is Secret'

Last night I was fortunate enough to catch an advance screening of What We Do Is Secret, a forthcoming biopic centered around legendary LA based punk act, The Germs. The film stars Shane West & Bijou Phillips amongst others. While the acting was, at times, imperfect, the movie portrayed the late '70s scene and its star players beautifully. Additionally, Shane's vocals are shockingly, yet eerily similar to those of former frontman, Darby Crash. A highly enjoyable 90 minute feature. New Yorkers can catch a pseudo reunited version of The Germs, featuring SW, on 8/8 @ The Gramercy (the official date of the flick's NYC premiere).

Germs Biopic To Be Released In August

What We Do Is Secret "chronicles the rise of The Germs & their charismatic leader Darby Crash whose image, the contorted, screaming face and death grip on the microphone, has become an icon of the US punk movement & a rapt influence on bands since. Darby's cultivated punk attitude, resplendent with the hardcore, infamous on stage self mutilation antics and volatile energy that inspired the band's mesmerized followers to riot, ultimately banned The Germs from playing every venue in the greater Los Angeles area". What stars Shane West & Bijou Phillips amongst others.
