	Hard Core Logo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hard Core Logo is a classic Canadian mockumentary based on the novel of the same name by author Michael Turner.
		The circumstances are void of the dynamics which spawn the culture, and to keep a semblance of the spirit alive, Joe resorts to incanting the name of his role model, punk demigod, Bucky Haight.
		There are die hards who cannot let go of their affinity for their chaotic days within the culture.

	TAKE ONE: Hard core logo
		McDonald says Hard Core Logo is "a bit of a dance between the logic of documentary and narrative." The conventions of documentary are used by McDonald and the actors to tell a story of remarkable complexity and texture about the dissolution of a punk rock band.
		Hard Core Logo's touring anthem is a catchy, passionate, tongue-in-cheek number, "Who the hell do you think you are?" and the Ramones' "Touring" is the film's theme song.
		Hard Core Logo is a hardcore deconstruction of masculinity.

	Hard Core Logo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hard Core Logo is often compared to This Is Spinal Tap--and for marketing purposes, that makes sense: both are pretend documentaries about rock bands (a self-important heavy metal crew in Spinal Tap, a self-destructing punk mob in Hard Core Logo).
		But though Hard Core Logo can be cuttingly funny, it's not really a comedy; it's a piercing examination of friendship and betrayal, success and self-hatred, and everything that fueled punk rock.
		A few years ago, Miramax released a bare bones DVD of Hard Core Logo, but now Bruce McDonald has re-released his movie with a new transfer (strangely full-frame as opposed to the 1.85:1 aspect ratio of the Miramax disc) and a new and improved 5.1 surround soundtrack.

	The book Hard Core Logo
		Hard Core Logo lacks the linear structure a traditional novel is based on.
		The style in which Hard Core Logo is written creates a realistic snapshot of daily life by taking journal entries and other writings and turning them into a story that has anything but a narrative structure.
		Although Hard Core Logo is a fictional film, “it unreels in a surprising form of cinema verite documentary covering a reunion tour of a four man punk band”(Golfman 30).

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: HARD CORE LOGO
		Of course, being a mockumentary, neither the present nor the past is real; the history we are given of the band, the news footage detailing the start of their reunion tour and the "documentary" made about the band on this tour are all fictitious.
		At some points, Hard Core Logo seems to be a spoof on the trials of a touring band's life.
		Joe Dick is the aggressive and abrasive lead singer of the band, a punk rocker who feels a deep hatred for the music industry and an affinity for spitting on his fellow band members during performances.

		Aukestrel said that she figured if she wrote an HCL story it would be from Billy's POV, then one day she woke up with Joe talking to her in her head.

		Alternately brutal and funny, "Hard Core LOGO" is a disarming, confessional novel-in-verse about life on the rock 'n' roll road, and a once-great band bolstered by the prospect of reclaiming its past glory.
		I had seen the movie Hard Core Logo years ago when it first premiered here in Canada, but never picked up the book until a friend recommended it to me. He read it in one sitting and told me I wouldn't be able to put it down.
		Hard Core Logo is the story of a punk band on one last tour trying to regain not only the glory of their past days atop the Punk Genre, but also to rekindle the flame they used to have for the business, and get paid as well.

	DVD Review: Hard Core Logo
		A little Canadian feature that was pretty much overlooked during a small theatrical release a few years ago, "Hard Core Logo" is director Bruce McDonald's punk-rock answer to "This Is Spinal Tap", a mock-documentary about a famous punk band who comes back for a reunion show one night and finds their old fans receptive.
		An occasionally dark, but entertaining and well-acted feature, "Hard Core Logo" is a solid film that unfortunately got a too-short release.
		Final Thoughts: "Hard Core Logo" isn't for everyone, but I thought it was a well-acted and engaging look at a band who's now past its prime.

	'Hard Core Logo': Rockers Bullying and Squabbling Down Memory Lane
		For every suggestion that it is poking fun at the punk-rock esthetic (onstage, the bullying, alcoholic lead singer Joe Dick spits in the faces of his fellow band members), there are stronger hints that the movie, handsomely photographed by Danny Nowak, aspires to be a kind of romantic elegy to the punk-rock movement.
		As Hard Core Logo makes its way across the prairie, shots of its battered tour bus rolling through the farmland convey a mood of grand desolation.
		"Hard Core Logo" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

		Hard Core Logo was made into a film in 1996, directed by Bruce McDonald, with Hugh Dillon as Joe Dick (and a cameo by Joey Ramone as himself)
		The idea, here, was to (...) in the case of Hard Core Logo, contrast the boredom of a touring punk rock band with a heroic -- or even epic -- form.
		Hard Core Logo was -- so Joe Dick -- "the populist band", and they "made a career out of breaking up".

		Secondly, although I subsisted for years on the Ramones, Oingo Boingo and the Knack, I thought those days were behind me; I wasn’t sure I could muster the anger to get back with the punk scene.
		“Hard Rock Logo” is an in-your-face, wild and complex study of life on the rock-n-roll road.

		"Hard Core Logo" is a mockumentary that will be so familiar to audiences that it may seem like the real thing.
		In fact, the story is such a typical crash-and-burn music industry tale that you'll rack your brain trying to figure out which punk band most closely resembles the one chronicled in the film.

		Stage Manager, Mark Abraham, and Technical Director, Mike Johnston, battered but unbowed by their ordeal, confirm "Hard Core Logo" is perhaps the most demanding show they have produced.
		The members of "Hard Core Logo," are Joe Dick, lead vocals and guitar; Billy Talent, lead guitar; John Oxenberger, bass; and Pipefitter, drums.
		This, as luck would have it, plays nicely into the idea that Billy is the one member of Hard Core Logo who could really make it, as well as the jealousy this provokes in Joe Dick.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Hard Core Logo
		Yet another faux documentary, Hard Core Logo purports to be a chronicle of one last tour of regrouped, "famed" punk band Hard Core Logo (a reference to the anarchy symbol) as they trek across Canada, where fans receive them with open arms.
		The punkish Logos, of course, simply spit in their faces, Sex Pistols-style, act rudely, and wax about their clever philosophies.
		While the music of Hard Core Logo is the real deal (Joey Ramone makes a brief cameo, even), the story is boring, trite, and unwatchable, the acting is pathetic, and the filmmaking is attempted avant-garde.

	Eye - Hard Core Logo - 10.17.96
		And, with his new film, Hard Core Logo, McDonald has let down a few of his satiric defences and done just that.
		The film does begin comically, with the reunion of an aging Vancouver punk band, Hard Core Logo, occurring against the incongruous backdrop of a socially-conscious West Coast benefit concert.
		Although in his mid thirties, the Hard Cores' lead singer, Joe Dick, is still a nihilistic asshole, and he bullies the crowd of decent left wingers and dainty glam rockers like a hopped-up Richard Speck heckling an assembly of student nurses.

	Punks Mix It Up in Razor-Sharp Comedy / Nasty humor in `Hard Core'
		One has to admire the audacity of ``Hard Core Logo,'' a nasty but fun Canadian film about the reunion of a famous Vancouver punk band.
		``Hard Core Logo,'' opening today at the Lumiere, is accomplished independent filmmaking, acted with immediacy and comic brilliance, and its faux-documentary style is edged with outrage.
		Director Bruce McDonald (``Dance Me Outside'') has turned out a tight, fascinating on-the-road rock movie, a delicious study in mean-spiritedness as well as the gut imperatives that make punk music the unsettling, hostile experience it is. Some might even come away wishing that most punk rock were as good as the stuff performed onscreen.
