“While Boulder might not be the first place that comes to mind for punk rock, a small but passionate DIY scene is quietly growing. Spearheaded by young musicians like those behind the concerts at The Coffee Stand, local artists are putting on punk shows at unconventional venues, creating a space for loud, cathartic music that’s filling a void in Boulder’s live music scene. With a mix of punk, shoegaze and hardcore bands, the movement is drawing fans eager to build a community around alternative music outside of Denver.”
