What is the plot?
The sun is just beginning to rise over Reno, Nevada, on a crisp morning in late October 1991. The city is quiet, the streets still damp with dew, but inside the cavernous Reno Events Center, the air is electric with anticipation. The hockey arena, usually filled with the roar of skates and the slap of pucks, is being transformed into a stage for something far more chaotic and raw: a concert that will bring together the worlds of hardcore punk and alternative rock in a way that feels both inevitable and revolutionary. The date is October 26, 1991, and the event is billed as "Skeeno H.C. Rules," a title that echoes the rebellious spirit of the underground scene that has simmered beneath the surface of Reno for more than a decade.
David Markey, the filmmaker and chronicler of punk culture, stands at the edge of the arena floor, his Super 8 camera in hand, capturing the final preparations. He is a wiry figure with a sharp eye for detail, a man who has spent years documenting the lives of bands and fans who live on the fringes of mainstream society. His presence is unobtrusive, but his lens is relentless, seeking out the moments that will define this night. Around him, stagehands are setting up amplifiers, running cables, and testing microphones. The scent of stale beer and fresh paint hangs in the air, mingling with the faint odor of sweat and anticipation.
The first act to take the stage is not a band, but a series of archival images projected onto a massive screen at the back of the arena. Grainy black-and-white footage shows the early days of Reno's punk scene, circa 1978 to 1985. We see teenagers with mohawks and ripped jeans, gathering in basements and abandoned houses, trading tapes and zines, forming friendships that will last a lifetime. The Rad House, a punk house on Sutro Street, is shown in its heyday, a place where bands played, zines were published, and neighbors tolerated the noise with a mix of bemusement and resignation. The images are accompanied by the sound of a young voice, reading from a zine called Skeeno in Black and White & Words, describing the sense of community and defiance that defined those years.
As the footage fades, the lights dim, and the crowd--mostly young, mostly dressed in black, many with patches and pins on their jackets--begins to cheer. The first live act is a local Reno band, their sound raw and unpolished, but filled with the energy of youth and rebellion. They play a set of fast, aggressive songs, their lyrics a mix of anger and hope, a reflection of the struggles and dreams of the punk generation. The crowd responds with mosh pits and shouted choruses, the energy building with each song.
After the local band finishes, there is a brief interlude. Markey's camera pans across the audience, capturing the faces of fans who have traveled from all over the country to be here. Some are old enough to remember the early days of the scene, while others are too young to have experienced it firsthand, but all share a sense of belonging, a feeling that they are part of something larger than themselves.
Then, the lights go out again, and the crowd erupts in anticipation. The next act is one of the most influential bands in the history of alternative rock: Sonic Youth. The band--Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley--takes the stage, their instruments already plugged in, their faces serious but not without a hint of amusement. They are not a hardcore band, but their music has always been infused with the spirit of punk, and their presence here is a nod to the roots of the scene.
Sonic Youth launches into their set, the sound a wall of feedback and distortion, a sonic assault that is both chaotic and controlled. The crowd is mesmerized, the mosh pits growing larger and more intense. Markey's camera captures the moment, the sweat on the band members' faces, the way they move in unison, the way the audience responds to every note. The energy is palpable, a living thing that fills the arena.
As Sonic Youth plays, the narrative shifts, moving back in time to the early 1980s, when the hardcore punk scene was at its peak. The film cuts to interviews with members of 7 Seconds, a band from Reno who recorded the classic album "Skins, Brains, & Guts" in 1981. The band members--Kevin Seconds, Steve Youth, and others--speak about the ethos of hardcore, the DIY ethic, the sense of community, and the challenges they faced. They talk about the small illegal stores like Garbage Inc, where tapes and zines were sold, and the zines like Boredom and Slam! that helped connect the scene across the country.
The interviews are intercut with footage of 7 Seconds performing, their music fast and aggressive, their lyrics a mix of political and personal themes. The band's influence is clear, not just in the music but in the way they inspired a generation of young people to stand up for what they believed in, to form their own communities, to create their own culture.
As the film returns to the present, Sonic Youth finishes their set, the crowd roaring with approval. The band members take a bow, then step off the stage, making way for the next act. The lights dim again, and the crowd begins to chant, a low, rhythmic sound that builds in intensity. Then, the lights come up, and the stage is filled with a new band: Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
Neil Young, the legendary rock musician, is not a hardcore punk, but his music has always been infused with a sense of rebellion and authenticity. He takes the stage with his band, his guitar slung low, his face weathered but still intense. The crowd is stunned, the energy shifting from the chaotic energy of Sonic Youth to the raw, emotional power of Neil Young.
Neil Young launches into a set of songs that are both familiar and new, his voice a mix of gravel and grace. The crowd is mesmerized, the mosh pits giving way to a more contemplative energy, a sense of awe and respect. Markey's camera captures the moment, the way Neil Young moves on stage, the way the audience responds to every note.
As Neil Young plays, the narrative shifts again, moving back to the early days of the Reno punk scene. The film cuts to interviews with members of The Wrecks, a Reno band that was active in the early 1980s.

The crowd is mesmerized, the mosh pits growing larger and more intense.

The lights dim again, and the crowd begins to chant, a low, rhythmic sound that builds in intensity. Then, the lights come up, and the stage is filled with a new band: the end.
The end takes the stage, its instruments already plugged in, its face serious but not without a hint of amusement. It launches into a set of songs that are both familiar and new, its music a mix of feedback and distortion, raw emotion and controlled chaos. The crowd is mesmerized, the mosh pits growing larger and more intense. Markey's camera captures the moment, the sweat on the end's face, the way it moves in unison, the way the audience responds to every note.
As the end plays, the narrative shifts again, moving back to the early days of the Reno punk scene. The film cuts to interviews with members of the community, fans and friends who were part of the scene. They speak about the sense of community, the challenges they faced, and the friendships they formed.

The interviews are intercut with footage of the community, the punk house on Sutro Street, the shows at bars and halls, the flyers and posters that advertised the events. The sense of community is clear, not just in the music but in the way people came together to create something larger than themselves.
As the film returns to the present, the end finishes its set, the crowd roaring with approval. The end takes a bow, then steps off the stage, making way for the final act. The lights dim again, and the crowd begins to chant, a low, rhythmic sound that builds in intensity. Then, the lights come up, and the stage is filled with a new band: the beginning.
