Last year a slew of actors flew down to Georgia with director Randall Miller to film CBGB, the upcoming movie about the New York City club that launched the careers of seminal punk acts including Patti Smith, the Ramones, Television and the Talking Heads.

Over on the CBGB Facebook page, you can check out the cast of characters – which includes Alan Rickman as the club's owner Hilly Kristal – in the film's first poster, and now you can also take an exclusive first look at Malin Akerman as Blondie's Debbie Harry and the Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop. No release date has been set for CBGB yet, though it should open sometime this year.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
