Where to Watch Urgh! A Music War
- Gianni Cavuoto10 december 2025Urgh! A Music War Wow is all I can say!!! This may be one of the best music documentaries you have ever seen. No explanation, no narration and no BS at all. The band comes on and plays then done….on to the next. Many bands I have never heard of before and may never hear of again. There are too many standout performances to really pick the “top” ones….but I think most everyone will agree The Police are the shining stars here, hence the reason they are the only band to get 3 songs, everyone else gets one song. Take your time to watch this movie and make sure you crank the sound up nice and loud!!!!
