The Other F-Word: Punk rock papas talk fatherhood

 

I’m not interested in children as a general rule, but this trailer for an upcoming documentary about punk musicians and their offspring managed to stir even my withered heart.

Featuring names including Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), Ron Reyes (Black Flag), Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Fat Mike (NOFX) and Tim McIlrath (Rise Against), The Other F-Word examines how parenthood changed the lives of these alternative icons punk rock, drinking and drugs into something slightly more domesticated.

It’s not all schmaltz though – the film looks pretty funny in parts and anything with Fat Mike can’t really be that emotionally challenging. That said, the bit with Flea talking about his kids in the trailer did make me tear up in a most embarrassing fashion.

Not sure when it’s out in the UK, but you can find out more about the film and its international screening dates on the website.
