"The only thing that saved me was DIY punk."

Punk With A Camera (PWAC) & Pepe discuss having no place to fit in or feel welcomed until finding DIY punk, filming, working with bands & difficult times with parents while growing up. There's talk about starting a project or passion, learning from our mistakes, supporting the community & much more.
