Issues
Wasteland is a limited-run, four-issue zine that chronicles the evolution of the RGV underground music scene.
Current and Upcoming Issues
Issue 1: Venues (Released December 2024)
The first issue explores the venues that hosted the Valley’s underground shows, from legendary dive bars to short-lived DIY spaces.
Issue 2: The Digital Collide (Releasing Mid-March 2024)
How did communication change between 1998 and 2008? This issue covers the shift from zines and word-of-mouth to message boards, MySpace, and Bandcamp.
What’s Next?
Issue 3 (Expected late spring / early Summer 2025) – A deep dive into STUMF, band bios, and how the music community evolved.
Issue 4 (Expected late summer / early Fall 2025) – The so-called "Golden Age" of Valley punk rock and its lasting impact.
