The Rising Storm has survived to become one of the 'Unknown Legends of Rock n Roll', and five decades later, they are still making music. The boys graduated, and went on with their lives and successful professional careers that had nothing to do with music. The 500 copies of the album, never meant for distribution, fell into obscurity, until 1982, when a German collector paid $2,000 for a rare copy. Music reviewers and rock historians re-discovered 'Calm Before - ' calling the album an 'icon of the 60's garage band sound with surprising original material'. The album was 'bootlegged' in Europe and suddenly the band was unwittingly thrust back into the spotlight. In this 30 minute documentary, filled with archival photos, animations, re-creations, and interviews with experts, fans, and band members, we piece together the story of the Rising Storm's unlikely rise to fame. We explain what caused the craze among Vinyl collectors and hear what the band has to say about the music they created fifty years ago, the times they lived in, their subsequent "fame", and their real lives. Return to 1967 with the Rising Storm to recapture the magic in the music of 'Calm Before'. See less
