Moran said in a press release that the film was “Part cautionary story, part carefree romp, mostly hilarious, occasionally sobering, and constantly engaging. … An irresistible journey into the past or a delightful history lesson about the last great days of rock and roll. When Britannia ruled the Airwaves thanks to a man with his underdogs and their indie record label that briefly changed history. “
