The Stone Roses were the main exponent of the musical explosion that took place in and around Manchester in the late 1980s. On May 27, 1990, the band performed a legendary concert on Spike Island. “Tits” [Elliott Tittensor], “Dodge” [Nico Mirallegro], “Little Gaz” [Adam Long] and “Zippy” [Jordan Murphy] hope to share a demo of their band 'Shadow Caster', inspired by The Stone Roses. musical heroes. Together with “Penfold” [Oliver Heald] they come up with a plan to visit the concert. And if possible, also visit a girl. Energetic, dynamically filmed comedy with a well-performing young cast, including Emilia Clarke as the love interest. The more dramatic elements are not sufficiently highlighted and Whitecross might have been better off leaving them out. Dedicated to The Stone Roses, so fans of their music and that from the 'Madchester' period will definitely get their money's worth.
