Emily, Dave, and Andrew were deep in the Austin punk scene in the '90s — living at the infamous Apathy House, an 8 person residence in West Campus that hosted house shows and provided a place for bands and fans alike to crash for the night (or the month). 
In this episode, they take us back to that chaotic era, tell some stories from The Apathy House, and share how groups like their crew, The Showbruhs, are keeping punk music alive in Austin today.
