More details have surfaced for the 90s punk documentary first announced on Punknews.org in April of this year. Officially titled One Nine Nine Four: Documenting the Birth, Growth and Explosion of Punk Rock in the 90s, the film does just that, It will feature interviews with bands such as Green Day, NOFX, the Offspring, Blink 182, Rancid, Bad Religion, Lagwagon and many more. It looks at the explosion of punk rock, from the beginning of the Warped Tour, the success of Green Day and Blink-182 and more.

The film makers spent the first few months of 2007 in Los Angeles interviews and collecting archival footage before returning to Australia this month to start editing. The film will be narrated by Tony Hawk and is yet to have distribution or a release date but will hit the festival circuit in 2008.

Seeing as how I was 13/14 in 1994, and seeing as how those are the exact years I started to really get into music, a lot of those little pop punk bands are a permanent part of my memory, whether I like it or not. I remember seeing Blink 182’s “Dammit” on MTV for the first time and thinking the dude with purple hair was hot. I remember hearing “Why Do You Want Him?” by Green Day for the first time and thinking “That’s a really good question!” (You know, if you replace him with her, since I was crushing on boys that seemed to always like the stupid girls.)

So I am looking forward to this documentary. And now that I’ve seen the trailer, it might not be anything I don’t already know, but I’m curious to see how it comes together anyway, even if only for nostalgia’s sake.

And now I’m gonna go listen to Cheshire Cat.
