WASTED

WASTED (often billed WASTED ATX) is an Austin punk two-piece that brands itself “the LOUDEST punk two piece in ATX,” built around Brandon Beason and Finn Rafferty (@wasted_atx). In a city full of full-band rock rooms, the duo format is the point: maximum volume, minimal lineup, and a live attack aimed at small Eastside and DIY rooms rather than polished radio punk.

Public footprint is still club-scene scale—Instagram, local bills, and the Austin punk calendar—more than a long formal discography on major labels. What is clear is the identity: loud, short-form punk energy from a two-piece that wants the room sweaty and the PA pushed, fitting the Hotel Vegas / Red River / dive ecosystem that still books raw original punk nights.

Expect high-volume two-piece punk—no filler, all volume—when WASTED hits Austin punk bills and Eastside club packages.
