When Nirvana exploded onto the music scene in 1991, their sound resonated deeply with a generation that felt angry and marginalized. As grunge music dominated MTV and radio waves, the music industry underwent a rapid transformation. However, just three years later, the era came to an abrupt end with the drug-related deaths of several musicians, culminating in Kurt Cobain’s suicide. “Hit So Hard” chronicles the journey to stardom—and the near-fatal descent—from it of Patty Schemel, the drummer for Courtney Love’s influential band, Hole. Armed with a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole’s notorious “Live Through This” world tour, Patty recorded incredibly personal footage of the music scene, which remained unseen until now. More than just a behind-the-scenes look at the music that defined a generation, “Hit So Hard” is a gripping story of instant fame, the devastating impact of addiction, and ultimately, the path to recovery and redemption.
