Storyline

Light the Rock n' Roll spark with a Flame in the guise of Dave, Noddy, Jim and Don and their showcase of the rise and demise of rock band Flame. Set in the hardships of North England's seventies working class society and music scene. This build-up from rags to riches is a parody of realism and grit, with double-dealings and harsh unforgiving dog eat dog mentalities, and the golden rule; if you play with matches then you're going to get burnt, in the flames of the music industry.

Trivia

As Slade were seen as a "happy-go-lucky" group, this film was to be the slow demise of their career, as the film was seen as too down beat and depressing. The film was just too realistic for their image to sustain. See more »

Quotes

Jack Daniels: [shouts over the din of a poor drum solo audition] Not your actual Gene Cooper is he?
Barry: Who's she?
Jack Daniels: Before your time.
