HANDICAPPED PUNX



ive always wondered if people can continue to do bands/be involved in the scene if they have been paralyzed from the waist down or have suffered some other catastrophic injury………are there such things as  handicap-freindly DIY showspaces? have you ever seen a wheelchair ramp at a space? have you ever seen any punks in wheelchairs? this is something ive never seen or even heard about………no zines about handicapped punx (although it would be great if someone would start one or do a piece about them) this is important because any one of us could be put in a wheelchair or on those arm-brace crutches permenantly  at any given time and i wanna know if you could continue to play music/do shows/ continue life as a punk after such an injury……

  1. Dutch metalcore/postrock band Greyline has a guitarist who's in a wheelchair permanently. I'm sure he could tell you some stories about venues which aren't too wheelchair friendly, heh...
