Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock has confirmed the digital release date for his “I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol” documentary. The film will be available in the U.S. on May 26. Pre-orders will launch on May 12 via Apple TV. A trailer can be found below:

Here’s a synopsis:

“Based on the novel written by Glen Matlock, ‘I WAS A TEENAGE SEX PISTOL’ follows Glen Matlock’s journey as a founding member of the influential punk band the Sex Pistols. Having co-written ten of twelve songs on their only studio album, ‘NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS,’ Matlock’s contribution was essential to the band’s success. Experience the Pistols’ rise to global infamy with an honest, insightful account of a group of malcontents, determined to change the music business and to attack hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large.

Matlock commented:

“Why don’t you check out the U.S. release of my documentary ‘I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol’, loosely based on the still available book of the same name I wrote in the ’90s? It tells the tale of my contribution to the band, which I think without it the group wouldn’t have had the success it had. For anybody interested in the birth of British punk and its effect on the then wider music scene, I’d suggest it’s essential viewing — but then I would say that!”
