Plot

A new rock-n-roll band plays at a sleepy town called Mile Basin, causing the town's kids to turn into rockers. However, what the town doesn't know is that the band is also turning kids into bird-like monsters. The soundtrack features many prominent bands at the time such as King Kobra, Tempest, Hallow's Eve, Lizzy Borden, among others.
