Interesting premise that the group was ahead of its time, because then they don't have to sound like they come from a specific era. And they don't sound 50's/early 60's to me at all, but I'm no expert on this style of rock.
I did not get interested in any of the characters, nor the mysteries of whether Eddie was still alive, where the old tapes were, who was breaking into the old band members' homes to ransack them. And I didn't care about the music. The film wasn't pretty to look at, so there's nothing here for me.
