A collection of 22 rare performances from top punk acts of 2001

In true “DIY” spirit, from the basements to the stadiums, bands today are building their own following, one fan - and one friend - at a time. Told by the bands and fans themselves, through live performances, interviews, and behind the scenes, this film is the first ever to document a music scene happening today that defies tradition and is making music history.

The Last Scene chronicles the path the underground punk scene of the late-90’s/early-00’s took to mainstream popularity. It all began in basements and VFW halls with bands like Thursday and Saves the Day, and exploded into arenas with groups such as Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, and Fall Out Boy. This is the story of a group of artists who came up together in the same scene, during a pivotal era for the music industry and youth culture at large.
