SOMEBODY’S GONNA MISS US features an hour-long documentary DVD chronicling THE STARTING LINE during their preparation for and journey on their 2008 U.S. tour which culminates in their thunderous and heartfelt Bamboozle performance on May 4. Through intimate and honest interviews with the band, friends and family, fans will get a glimpse into the inner workings of the group which–after eight years together– decided to take a hiatus in 2008 to pursue other projects. The full-length concert DVD and live CD is highlighted by the band’s stunning performance in their Philadelphia hometown at the Electric Factory on April 18, 2008. The live CD and DVD boasts 18 live songs and performances including fan favorites “Direction,” Island,” “Best of Me,” “Bedroom Talk,” “Something Left to Give” and many more.
