Riding in Vans with Boys(2003)

Riding in Vans with Boys follows Kut U Up, an obscure punk band given an unexpected opportunity in summer 2002 when blink-182 invites them to join The Pop Disaster Tour alongside Green Day and Jimmy Eat World. The film captures the chaos and camaraderie of life on the road during pop-punk's commercial peak, documenting how a small-time group navigates the intensity of touring with some of the genre's biggest names. It's a behind-the-scenes look at ambition, friendship, and survival in the competitive world of alternative rock, told through the eyes of musicians living out their wildest dreams in cramped vans and crowded venues.
