I’ve just heard about the release of a really interesting new film and felt that I had to blog about it. Heavy Load is a documentary that follows the rise to fame of a thrash metal punk band that is made up of people both with and without a learning disability. Specialising in thrash covers of late 70’s punk (including The Clash’s ‘I Fought The Law’) – or punk versions of recent pop (including Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out of My head’), Heavy Load is unlikely to have a top ten hit. ‘We like to take a classic song’ says guitarist Mick, ‘and crucify it’. I can’t wait to see this film!
