NRA Documentary of Musical Mayhem from Executive Producers Roger Gastman, Joseph Pattisall & Zack de la Rocha Born from stolen equipment and street life connections, the band Dead City Punx — Meka, Grumpy, Mike, and Adrian — built stages for their shows from shoplifted wood, used social media as their "bat signal," and turned every performance into a crime scene complete with graffiti backdrops, bonfires, and police helicopters. Through fan-filmed concert footage and exclusive interviews, 'DEAD CITY PUNX'captures how four outcasts from society's margins ignited a pandemic-era music movement that challenged definitions of public space, rebellion, and the right to assemble. BEYOND THE STREETS presents the story of Dead City — raw, unfiltered, and as real as their shows.
