Producer Christopher Blakely was inspired by the underground music scene of the late 1970's, and wanted to document the energy and creativity of bands that were yet unheard on the radio. At the suggestion of Co-Producer Everett Greaton, Chris contacted the band X. He obtained exclusive rights to make a movie about the band, to use their music in the film, and to call it "The Unheard Music".
