As the country around him is becoming more conservative and corporate and adulthood seems like the ultimate corrupt existence Buzz can only find solace within a close-knit group of fellow disillusioned teens which includes his devoted younger sister Sissy. As they drive around in Buzz’s beat-up van encountering redneck cops mocking the local “geezers” and wondering if there is any meaning in what seems to be a meaningless world Small Town Punk perfectly captures how it is to be young yet feel that you have no future.

The Finches are Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs and Aaron Morgan.
