Slade In Flame DVD

‘Slade In Flame’

“One of the bleakest and best Rock films yet made”  The Times

“A fascinating and at times incredible piece of work”  Uncut

When the film opened it was critically well-received, although it puzzled its core audience, who were expecting fun-packed slapstick entertainment. Eschewing Slade's jolly image in favour of an exposé of a working band, its darkness illustrating the underbelly of a music business populated by sharks, bullies and ten-percenters. Not much has changed!
