Network Media Group just announced its partnership with John Varvatos, Iggy Pop and EPIX for a four-part docu-series on the quintessential story of punk, premiering on EPIX in the U.S., March 11, 2019 (10:00 pm ET/PT).
Iggy Pop joins the Punk series as an executive producer, and adds his voice alongside exclusive interviews with America’s punk pioneers and the U.K.’s most notorious bands, including musical luminaries Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols/Public Image Ltd./PiL), Marky Ramone (Ramones), Debbie Harry and Chris Stein (Blondie), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters), as well as industry legends Danny Fields (Elektra Records), Legs McNeil (Please Kill Me/Punk Magazine), and filmmaker Penelope Spheeris (The Decline of Western Civilization; Wayne’s World).
Featuring a seamless blend of rare and unseen photos, gritty archival film and video, and a crackling soundtrack of punk hits and misses, Punk explores the music, the fashion, the art and the DIY attitude of a subculture of self-described misfits and outcasts.
Punk is produced by Derik Murray and directed by Jesse James Miller.
