Austin Punk Invasion, by site editor David Ensminger, features a survey of Austin’s first wave punk and hardcore eras, including: Jeff Smith, notorious swaggering singer of the Hickoids, Smarts Dads, and Bang Gang; forever cool Ty Gavin of the Next; Tom Huckabee, drummer for the irreverent disruptors the Huns; and Steve Marsh of the roiling artful rock’n’punks Terminal Mind; plus limber, powerhouse drummer Pat Doyle of Offenders! It also includes 2017 MDC tour diaries by Dave Dictor, a photo archive by Ty Gavin, a new biographic excerpt by Gary Floyd of the Dicks; and micro-memoirs by a younger generation, including Marc Ruvolo of the Fur Coats, Tracey Torres of Black Salve, and Sophie Rousmaniere the Elected Officials. Get it at Amazon! Or soon it will be at distros like Quimbys in Chicago and Microcosm in Portland.
