FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Arriving in 1978, hitched to the back of the Sex Pistols tour bus, Texas punk rock soon became as mythic as the states devotion to football, cattle and prayer.

Joining over 300 deep black and white photos by Blashill are essays by director Richard Linklater (Slacker / Boyhood), singer David Yow (Scratch Acid / Jesus Lizard), drummer Teresa Taylor (Butthole Surfers) and local luminaries Adriane Ash Shown and Donna Rich.
