The Ginkers Documentary

The brothers Ciraulo, (inset) are busy keeping the dark arts alive with their own brand of metal. 

In an interview that lasted one cold afternoon last winter, the two highschoolers from Marlboro gave us a tour of their shared bedroom, an extended guitar solo and also some rather interesting stories about how one rather disturbing crop of tee-shirts ended up in Iraq. 

We've spent about a year now working with the retired and the reformed Ginker and burnout. Until now, we new little of the resurgence of the teen metalhead that harkens back to the 80's with their long hair, penchant for fires and of course, being misunderstood. 

Thanks to the boys.

Happy Holidays to our fans and supporters and to the crew and subjects of the "Ginkers" documentary film. Enjoy the days off, the family, whatever you choose. Look for us in 2009 with a strong return to filming and some news on the progress of the movie.

Still on the lookout for any great 80's pics of metalheads and burnouts...keep 'em coming.
