The story: The Super Rock Festival in Japan took place in the summer of 1984.
It featured such big names as Scorpions, Whitesnake, and Bon Jovi.
After the festival, those bands went on to sell millions of records.
Yet, Anvil, a heavy metal Canadian band since 1978, who also performed at that very same festival, did not.
Ever since that festival, Anvil has been recording and performing without ever really finding the same superstardom as those other bands they once performed alongside.
Always wanting to get their music out and perform, lead singer/guitarist Steve Kudlow, AKA "Lips" lives his life, day to day, infamously.
He is a family man who enjoys his life. Although he would much rather be living the high life of a true rock and roller.
"Lips" is constantly looking for any way to get to that higher place, making every effort to see his dreams come true for himself and the rest of the band.
Their journey takes them on a small stage tour across Europe, a recording studio thanks to the much-appreciated help and direction from longtime friend/producer Chris "CT" Tsangarides, and a heavy metal music festival in Japan.
