If It Ain't Cheap, It Ain't Punk: D. un I. t Y.

by Eric Ayotte, Joe Biel and Jeremy Hogan

Over the last fifteen years, Plan-it X Records helped foster a huge cultural revolution, uniting geographically divided DIY punk communities under one umbrella. 

With a united ethic and common goals, this scene has grown to a critical mass, with some bands flirting with mainstream success, while others choose to remain firmly rooted in the basement punk scene. This original documentary climaxes in the 2006 Festival where punks from all over the world met up in Bloomington, IN for a week of music and skillsharing. Original footage of This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Japanther, Defiance, Ohio, Ghost Mice, One Reason, Operation: Cliff Clavin, Soophie Nun Squad, and more! From each DVD sold, we will give $1 each to Mother Hubbard's Cupboard and Pages to Prisoners!

This documentary showcases how Planet-It X Records combined many of the hardest working DIY punk bands in the country under one artistic community. The filmmakers include footage from acts like One Reason, Japanther, This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb, and Operation: Cliff Clavin.
