      Beautiful Noise

      "I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent, well-made doc on musician Justin Pearson and The Locust. Get yourself ready for blood, sweat, tears, puke, full frontal male nudity, and lots of beautiful noise. 👍👍"

      — Brandon E. (5/5)

      The perfect underground punk doc!

      "The bonus performances to the incredible packaging VS has nailed this release from front to back."

      — Robert L. (5/5)

      Don’t snooze on this

      "I wish I watched this documentary BEFORE I fell in love with myself. It would have saved me years of misery and disappointment. Very enjoyable watch. Highly recommended."

      — Benjamin W. (5/5)

      Locust Footage

      "Luckily was able to catch The Locust live twice in my lifetime. No one quite like them and hard to even attempt to capture their energy. RIP to one of the wildest bands to ever live."

      — Tony Z. (5/5)

      Pearson bio

      "I didn’t know much about Pearson of his bands before watching this. He’s an artist with a heart that provokes. I found this to be very worthwhile. The music will not be for most tastes, including my own, but that’s also missing the point of the film."

      — Daniel E. (5/5)

      RIP Gabe Serbian

      "Really good documentary. Gained a lot of respect for Justin and all involved. Loved all of the insight that Jose provided. Struggle FTW!"

      — Todd H. (5/5)

      The Half Eaten Sausage Would Like To See You In His Office

      "The locust rules, nuff said. Cool documentary."

      — Ryan M. (5/5)

      Wonerfully intimate music doc

      "ETR has released a wonderfully intimate documentary about the musician Justin Pearson. This look features the underground punk scene in San Diego during the 90s onward. Even if you are not a fan of this type of music, the documentary shows the trials and tribulations of an up and comer artist. Worth checking out if you are a fan of music docs."
