The Germs Biopic “What We Do Is Secret” trailer
Every piece of press on this film says it’s going to be just like “Control”. Somehow I don’t agree though I haven’t watched Control yet because I pretty much hate biopics but even more so, I hate biopics about musicians with the exception of “La Bamba” and “Sid & Nancy”.
- Darby Crash of The Germs
The “Germs” were a punk band and one of the first bands to play in double time or hardcore style along with Bad Brains.
What is truly amazing about this film is that the Germs are back together with the actor for the film as the lead singer! I just hope he’s a fan. They are currently on the Vans Warped Tour. How strange is that?
Darby Crash is being played by Shane West and Bijou Phillips is cast as Lorna Doom. The film is directed by Rodger Grossman a first time Writer & Director.

The film was awesome on the festival circuit. I can’t wait til the film comes out in New Orleans 9/19 and will show as a doubleheader with the Patti Smith film.

The movie was surprisingly accurate about the people, places, fashion and the feel of the era. Shane West did a pretty good job, too.
