Nerdcore Rising follows Frontalot and his band as they nervously embark on their first national tour, ready to rock the nation dweeb-style and meet the geeky—yet genuine—fans who drive countless hours to attend their gigs. Along the way, the film examines the impact of the Internet on remapping the road to music celebrity. It also debates the validity of Nerdcore as a genre, with input from celebrities including hip-hop artist/producer Prince Paul, the Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, comedian Brian Posehn, Tycho and Gabe of Penny Arcade, and (naturally) Weird Al Yankovic. -Erin Amar - Boston Independent Film Festival
