The film CBGB tells the story of club owner Hilly Krystal, played by Alan Rickman, and the rise of the punk rock scene within the walls of the club in New York’s seedy Bowery neighborhood. After premiering at the CBGB Festival, the film will open Oct. 11 in theaters in New York, Los Angeles and other select cities.

The Dead Boys, the Police and Blondie are among the acts depicted in the film who also appear on the soundtrack. The album contains a performance by Kristal (“Birds and the Bees”) and a new version of “Sunday Girl” by Blondie.
