A brilliant soundtrack to the must-see movie to end 2009!! This is the authentic and eclectic soundtrack the upcoming music-driven comedy Bandslam starring Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) and Aly Michalka ( Aly & AJ).
When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Barneswho asks new kid in town Will Burton to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.
Coming across like School of Rock hitting those awkward High School Musical years, Bandslam's soundtrack covers not just the battle of the bands that drives the film's plot, but songs that inspire the film's characters, as well. Though the movie stars “pop” actresses, its music leans more towards the rock side of the spectrum — classic rock, in fact: Bandslam kicks off with David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel," and later touches on Nick Drake's yearning with "Road," and the Velvet Underground's cool with "Femme Fatale".
This is a great beginners guide to rock'n'roll music!
