About this movie

Hardcore band MISERY SIGNALS have reunited their original lineup in celebration of the tenth anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album. This tour marks the first time the band will perform with its former vocalist since his unceremonious ousting a decade prior. YESTERDAY WAS EVERYTHING explores the fatal tragedy that brought the band together and follows their journey from Vancouver to Toronto as they face old ghosts and attempt to reconcile the past.

Ratings and reviews

Despite Misery Signals' first two albums being a huge part of my musical upbringing, this documentary falls way short.Most of it is just the guys from the band/scene talking vaguely about how hard it is to be in a small touring band. They talk about their falling out with Jesse as if there were some major catalyst other than the simple fact that it's difficult to get along with people in close quarters for long periods of time. If there is truly a unique story here, it wasn't told very well. Watching with my girlfriend, who isn't at all involved in music, she had absolutely no idea what was going on through the majority of the film. Everything just seemed hodge podged together.

This movie is amazing. I was moved close to tears multiple times. Highly recommended to anyone who loves Misery Signals or even just likes them. I really hope they aren't done writing and performing, but this documentary is a fitting end of an era if this is it.

I've been waiting so long for this and it didn't disappoint. I did not know the full story of Jordo and Compromise and to see how deeply it still affects every one was heartbreaking. Misery Signals have been a favourite band of mine since I first heard their debut EP with The Year Summer Ended In June on it and this look inside the reunion tour and history of the band was so awesome and special. Absolutely love everything about this. So glad I got to see it. I hope we still get more music form them one day.
