“Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements” is the definitive biography of one of the last great rock ’n’ roll bands of the twentieth century. Written with the participation of the group’s key members, including reclusive singer-songwriter Paul Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and the family of late guitarist Bob Stinson, “Trouble Boys” is a deeply intimate and nuanced portrait, exposing the primal factors and forces-addiction, abuse, fear-that would shape one of the most brilliant and notoriously self-destructive groups of all time. Based on a decade of research and reporting, hundreds of interviews (with family, friends, managers, producers, and musical colleagues), as well as full access to the Replacements’ archives at Twin/Tone and Warner Bros. Records, author Bob Mehr has fashioned something far more compelling than a conventional band bio. In this short film - filled with new, vintage and unseen footage -- Mehr discusses the challenges and journey of writing the book, and telling the Replacements’ story in full for the first time.
