What brought so many metalheads to Brooklyn? Who’s painting all this graffiti? Are a dozen punk scenes too many punk scenes for one city? Why do people from Atlanta do so much cocaine? Fletcher on Instagram Season 1 on YouTube 

Where does your allegiance lie? In the lofts and warehouses of the DIY scene or the dark, horny rooms of the  indie club nights? Hear from a man who swings both ways. Fletcher on Instagram  Season 1 on YouTube  

Hiding in basements, tiptoeing around strangers, sneaking food out of pantries, and avoiding fistfights. It’s just your usual couch surfing stories. Fletcher on Instagram Season 1 on YouTube
