, about the legendary Manchester band will be released on June 5 across the UK and Ireland by Picturehouse Entertainment.

Mark Herbert produced the film for Warp Films and the film was fully financed by Film4 and 4DVD.

The film captures the band at work and in their everyday lives as they rehearsed for their much-anticipated 2102 reunion, which culminated in three concerts in Manchester and also incorporates rare material spanning the band’s musical history.

Meadows said, “Making this film, I got to be part of something truly remarkable, the double decade awaited ‘resurrection’ of my all time favourite band, The Stone Roses. People say that you can’t recapture your youth, it’ll never be the same second time round etc, but that’s utter rubbish. The Roses were never allowed to reach their peak first time around so as far as I, and millions of fans around the world were concerned, with this comeback the Roses could be even greater. This film isn’t a history lesson, nor is it a two-hour concert film. It is a film about defying the odds, sticking it to the man and telling the cynics to shut their pie-holes! The Stone Roses are back baby!”
