A punk rock slice-of-life story that centers around a group of young adults thriving in the inner city music underground. They grapple with the experiences of healing from generational trauma, the scars left by their pasts and their families and growing apart as the world around them changes. Guadalupe “Loop” Alverez, the photographer of the red-hot indie band, The Daphnes, is faced with returning to her broken home life in hopes of putting it back together again.
Loop is at a show where The Daphnes are headlining. She snaps a lot of great photos of the band while they’re playing. After the set, Sheryl hooks Loop up with a photography gig for that Saturday, a PAID gig!
However, Loop is conflicted as she is revisited by her discarded dysfunctional family life on the same weekend.
The Daphnes' star guitarist, Jacob O'Reilly and his Wiccan muse, Zoey Song have a complicated romance that's built on hopes, dreams, fears, lies, and inadequacy.
These punks are madly in love and their radically different worlds strain their tethers into existential anxiety.
But, is it true love if it's born through a lie?
The first Ashcan release of Book 3: Wolverine. The story picks up with Rose and Loop reconnecting over dinner and dance. There's five years of time to talk about and Loop's mother knows just where to start.
Bryant and Eddie reunite with Doc Andrews, his sister Josie and his wife, Sadie, all members of the legendary Emerfield punk band, Citric. There's trouble in paradise, however, as Citric's disbanding in the mid-2000s has created schisms amongst the past and the future of the Pennsylvania underground.
Loop and Violet clock out for the day only to have Jacob give them some overtime work. The Daphnes need to start making big impressions with massive turnouts, so Loop and Violet team up with Sherry to spread the word on the Dugout show. A retail employee can sell a shirt, but can a retail employee sell a gig?
To kill time between the big show at The Dugout and Sheryl's lunch date with Eddie, Loop tells Bryant about her current family dilemma. Bryant waxes nostalgic about the vibrant punk scene of the past. Did Loop and Violet's promotional strategy work?
