Eric Scealf is the world greatest UNKNOWN rock front-man & the Band RAWKS, Baby!

If you mix Iggy Pop, Bowie, Freddie Mercury & Mick Jagger with the Misfits and Metallica...You still would not come close to measuring the charisma of Southern Rocker/Front Man: Erirc Scealf. I have had the pleasure of seeing this amazing rockumentary in Toronto and it is one of the greatest musical features I have ever seen. We see through archive and latter day footage, Eric and the boys go through their trials and tribulations of balancing a raunchy rock'n'roll lifestyle with their personal family lifestyle. It ain't pretty, but is a sonically and visually awesome & a beautifully American-Gothic cinematic experience for rockers cum cine-files. The music is awesome as well...don't be surprised if the Unsatisfied band gets a major record deal in the near future...the ARE the hardest working band in rock & definitely it's future!
