Reaction from Newcombe
Newcombe argues that the documentary was unfair in its portrayal of him.[1] On the band's official website, he publicly denounced the film as reducing several years of hard work to "at best a series of punch-ups and mishaps taken out of context, and at worst bold faced lies and misrepresentation of fact." The story also leaves one with the impression, by using Courtney as a voice over, that Anton and his band were no longer a band. There was no update regarding Anton at the time of release.[2]
