Review of X: The Unheard Music (1986) by Patrick D — 18 Aug 2009
An absolute fantastic documentary of a truly great and talented punk band (can they really be called Punk???), X: The Unheard Music deals mostly with the early days of X, during the late 70s in L.A. when Punk Rock was at its peak.
How John Doe (an extremely underrated singer, bass player, and actor), met Exene Cervenka (a poet with no singing experience whatsoever), discovered classically trained drummer D.J. Bonebrake, and befriended rockabilly-revivalist Billy Zoom.
The rest is simply history. One of the most unique bands ever (thanks in large part to John Doe and Exene's harmony, or lack thereof) with its origins bathed in rockabilly and Doors-ish mysticism, Unheard Music portrays X as a band that should have been bigger, and far more known.
