Miss Americana

Leave your bias at the door.
Stiv: No Compromise No Regrets
More of a personal favourite than a recommendation but for those who didn’t know of it’s existence this documentary about the life of Stiv Bators, the front man of the Dead Boys and The Lords of The New Church is a really interesting look into the life of those bands that never quite break the big time but have a lifelong impact on those after them.
Kate Nash: Underestimate The Girl
Musician and actress Kate Nash writes songs, goes on tour, sets up her house, copes with betrayal and owns her voice as a woman in the entertainment industry.
This documentary really surprised me – there is a point where it pivots and you just feel for a musician just trying and then being tripped up ins such a low way.
