The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Local punk scholar Tim Stegall’s serialized history of homegrown DIY culture has been playing out in the pages of the Chronicle. The chapters began dropping in 2019 and will ultimately amount to a book, which the veteran journalist plans to call You’ll Never Understand What We’re Trying to Say: Austin Punk Rock 1975-Present. You can find all the published installments here.
