Documentary about the band Wedlock

IT CAME FROM AQUARIUS RECORDS tells the story about the San Francisco based independent record store, Aquarius Records. Having closed in 2016 after 47 years, this small apartment-sized store championed local, underground, independent, and challenging music to the masses - most memorably with their infamous bi-weekly, college essay-length, new-release lists. Six years in the making, interviewing collectors, musicians, and store owners, the film has a very personal angle, with lots of behind-the-scenes footage (and drama) that shows both the joy and excruciating stress that comes with running — and closing — a store like this, helped in no part by the changing city around them.

This two hour unauthorized documentary details the formative history of the Canadian progressive rock band Rush, as well as their rise to fame. Archival interviews with band members, live footage and commentary from journalists and colleagues tell the band's story, album by album, up through their 1981 commercial breakthrough, "Moving Pictures."
