Product Description

Aly Michalka and Vanessa Hudgens join Gaelan Connell, Scott Porter, and Lisa Kudrow in the music-driven comedy BANDSLAM. When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Barnes (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sa5m (Hudgens), who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it's time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in?

U.S. Release via Summit Entertainment, August 14, 2009.

I know, it's the High School Musical girl and another Disney tween-bot in a movie where people sing, runaway. WELL YOU ARE WRONG! The CD has some really great songs, that I can listen to over and over. Sure, "I Want You to Want Me" has been covered to death, and yes the version here isn't great, but I've heard worse. The real gem is the second song, "Amphetamine" is really good. "Someone to Fall Back On", is not the version from the movie I would have preferred is still good. "Pretend" is also a wonderful song. The Burning Hotels song, "Stuck in the Middle" is also worth a listen. And Vanessa H. really shines in "Everything I Own". The liner notes for the CD, give reasons why the director chose each song, and notes that the actors actually played the songs as recorded. So give it a try.
