So, 'If It Ain't Stiff' is a really interesting documentary about Stiff Records, which really captured the essence of the punk and new wave scenes. Adrian Edmondson’s narration guides you through the ups and downs of this scrappy little label that was so much more than just a record company. It’s got this raw, energetic vibe that reflects the artists it signed – think of the Damned or Elvis Costello. The pacing is spot-on, weaving through stories and interviews, giving you a feel for the rebellious spirit of the time. You get some nice anecdotes from various contributors, which just adds to the authenticity. It feels like you’re sitting down and reminiscing with old friends over a pint while they share their wild and wonderful experiences in music.
