The Big Boys and the Birth of Skate‑Punk

Om avsnittet

This episode explores how Austin’s Big Boys merged hardcore speed with funk‑inflected breaks to create a foundation for skate punk, built an independent DIY infrastructure—from garage recordings to mail‑order distribution—and influenced later East Bay acts like NOFX. It examines their local scene context, touring tactics, and the lasting legacy of blending gritty punk energy with skate culture.
