Fantastic doc about a GREAT band! Paints a great picture of what tour is like, hanging out with your friends, killing time, waiting, waiting, waiting more waiting, playing a great show..rinse and repeat. Punk music fans will enjoy, The Briggs are amazing and the only downside with the film is knowing that I likely will never get to see them live unless I just happen to be in the right place on the right day!

My review is to short.. Their albums are rrally good, Come All You Madmen is a treat from start to finish, im pretty sure the opening track has quest vocals from Ken Casey of Dropkick. Numbers is also a favorite. Ok.. thats enough words now..k byeee.

Formed in 1999 as I Decline by Joey and Jason LaRocca and Matthew Stolarz, the Los Angeles punk rock band The Briggs have recorded four albums, three EPs and played the Warped Tour four different years.

Gridlocked shows their ten-day 2015 West Coast tour, which shows the band maturing and dealing with family responsibility whole dealing with a career that may have fallen short of their teen dreams.

Directed by Kevin James Barry (Serena and the Ratts), this movie took seven years of time with the band to put together. It's a reminder that every time you see a band get on stage, for some, it's often them living a dream come true, even if that dream ends up feeling different than what you wanted.
