“The DVD” is a documentary looking at the rise and rise of the Byron juggernaut. Featuring archival footage dating right back to the early days, the film follows the quintet from humble beginnings on the beaches of the NSW North Coast to storming stages all over the world. Directed and edited by the band, “The DVD” is both a travelogue of their adventures and an inspiring chronicle of their ascendancy. Packed with live and behind-the-scenes content, it features interviews with all five members as well as many of the key players crucial to their success. As an added bonus, the disc will also feature a full live set shot at Sydney’s Roundhouse in December of last year. See the official trailer below:
