In a small town in
Kentucky , five outsiders have come together: an eighty-year-old woman who walks around in cowboy boots and aSex Pistols t-shirt; a beautiful woman in a wheelchair; a youngIraqi searching for the American soldier he wounded in theFirst Gulf War ; a precocious young girl; and an extremely articulate African American, who seems to be constantly on drugs but in reality makes his way through life completely sober. Wherever the five "freaks" show up, people laugh at them. The passion that unites them is music, their shared dream is to conquer the world with their music, and together they form thepower-pop new-wave heavy-metal punk-rock band known as The Anomalies. In the words of their lead singer, "The only way to make this a better place would be for God to drop the bomb." Alone they are only outsiders, but as a group they might just be the bomb that God does not want to drop…Release details
