Fans of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie will get to stream the album by Lakeshore Records on Friday, February 20th. The score, composed by co-star Jay McCarrol, draws inspiration from movies like Back to the Future.
Now in theaters, the film is a guerrilla-style comedy in the vein of Jackass and Borat, following two friends trying to perform at Toronto’s Rivoli. What makes this film different from the others is that it makes the main duo, Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, the butt of the joke, not the other people involved. The film gives a nod to Back to the Future, in which the two friends time-travel back to 2008 via their RV.
McCarrol joked in a statement about the film’s music: “I did this entire score end to end in one day.”
Listen to the track, “One Last Plan,” below ahead of the album’s release tomorrow.

- Goodbye, Matt
