2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of 1991: The Year Punk Broke, a pivotal film centered around the lives and experiences of music pioneers Sonic Youth during their 1991 European festival tour. All footage has been fully restored with audio re-synced and remastered in uncompressed PCM stereo under the supervision of Sonic Youth. The doc not only captures Sonic Youth's raw and powerful live performances of songs such as 'Dirty Boots,' 'Teenage Riot,' 'Kool Thing' and 'Schizophrenia,' it offers a unique and rare behind-the-scenes look at daily life on the road.
1991: The Year Punk Broke is also packed with 65 minutes of bonus material, including a previously unreleased featurette featuring over 40 minutes of additional live footage of Sonic Youth performing 'White Kross,' 'Eric's Trip,' 'Chapel Hill' and 'Inhuman,' plus a rare Nirvana performance of 'In Bloom.'
