What is PUSHIN’ TOO HARD about?

The Seeds spread a web of sound from the Sunset Strip to the rest of the country in the 1960s with such anthems of teen frustration as “Pushin’ Too Hard.” Fronted by charismatic lead singer Sky Saxon, the band’s driving sound helped lay the groundwork for punk. This definitive Seeds documentary follows the quartet’s odyssey from rags to riches to rags again - and ultimately their rediscovery by new generations of garage-rock fans - using vintage television and concert performances, rare photos and recent interviews with all of the group’s original members, as well as fans and observers including Iggy Pop, Kim Fowley, Johnny Echols of Love and Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys.
