In the early '90s, Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses were the Kingpins of a burgeoning scene in Manchester, aka Madchester. ‘Call The Cops’ was filmed in 1990 during the band's stateside debut tour, in support of its ‘Pills'n'Thrills And Bellyaches’ album.
’Call The Cops’ combines brilliant full performance footage from The Sound Factory in New York City with rare behind-the-scenes material, giving the viewer an understanding of the band like never before. Actor/ comedian Keith Allen and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson (1950-2007) appear in cameos.
Numerous pundits have tried to encapsulate The Manchester Sound into an easy amalgam of post-punk rock'n'roll and house-music electronica. Although essentially correct, live, though, it was so much more. The harmonies harkened back to an earlier Brit era and the propulsive drumming kept the beat alive to provide a non-stop dance mechanism. To that end, Shaun Ryder, Bez Berry, Gary Whelan and Kav Sandhu kept the beat alive, and on Call The Cops, New Yorkers are obviously impressed first-hand with the next wave of British rock innovation.
