Synopsis:

Bruce Flansburgh is a bored, 40-something New York paralegal who hasn’t let go of his dream of rock stardom. While slogging through an increasingly unbearable day to day existence, it dawns on him that the reunions of The Pixies, Soundgarden and other alternative/indie rock bands from the 90’s could inspire his former group, THE INCOHERENTS, to reform. Upon finding his bandmates also mired in middle-aged stagnation, he rekindles a tenuous bond with the band’s guitarist and co-songwriter Jimmy, still resentful after languishing for years in unsuccessful groups after The Incoherents imploded. Bruce must also appease the desires of his wife Liz, herself desperate to break out of the life of a homemaker and reignite their stale marriage. While Bruce struggles mightily to maintain normalcy in his troubled work and home life, the band brushes the dust off on a quest to find the old magic while battling for relevance amongst a new wave of younger acts in a greatly changed musical landscape.

“The right blend of comic and dramatic edge!" - filmandtvnow

"A gold record-standard for accuracy in the lives of the men and women who suffer for their art!" - bandsaboutmovies

"Movies about rock n' roll often revel in the glamor of it all. Sex and drugs, the inevitable rise to fame, and then the fall from graces are often the key elements. It is refreshing that THE INCOHERENTS avoids all that. This is not a film about the allure of rock n' roll but rather about the joy of playing music!" - darkofthematinee

“Bolstered by an infectiously joyous spirit and admirable energy. Those with fond memories of 1990’s bands like Soundgarden and Pixies will especially respond to the nostalgic vibes!" - filmthreat

"THE INCOHERENTS captures the feeling of being pulled in different directions incredibly well.. Anyone who has ever dealt with adversity while following a dream will likely have trouble resisting this film’s strong emotional hooks. You’ll have a great time with THE INCOHERENTS!" - behindtherabbit
