Yea, otherwise it would be an arbitrary comparison. Wingnut has better songs.

i remember when i first got into the folk punk craze. It was pretty awesome...but after a while all those bands start sounding the same for the most part...except for neutral milk hotel

Yeah, I used to love stuff on PIX and the like. Now I find most of it to be pretty boring and generic. I guess you can only do the dirty hippy punk for so long.

Acoustic or fold punk always seemed to interest me but I never got that into it

Violent Femmes

I wouldn't really call them folk punk in the modern sense.

JKSmith · 06-22-2009, 07:51 PM

Modern sense? Elaborate.
