The F*cking Buckaroos, out of san francisco are pretty good. this forum won't allow me to curse, but they actually spell the name out - just in case you wanna look them up.

Yes this was the first folk punk band I truly got into as well. Unless one counts the Violent Femmes.

If you ever get a chance to hit up a Defiance, Ohio show, DO IT.
One of the top three shows I've been to thus far.

Defiance, Ohio would be so great to see live. wish I could.

If I were to download a Ghost Mice release what should it be?

Their splits are the best with AJJ and Defiance, Ohio.

Cool. I already have some of each in my library but don't have the splits. Thanks... :)

I'd rate their split with Saw Wheel a bit higher but you really can't go wrong with any Ghost Mice.

Is the Gaslight anteh respected/good?

Who cares if they're respected?

The Gaslight Anthem are good.

I like them because they have this cheesy feeling to them. Senor and the Queen EP is the best.

Agreed, I like their Pretty Hot split as well, but any album is a good album for them.

And I like Gaslight Anthem too, it took a while for me to give them a chance, but after I did I found them to be surprisingly good.

The last 3-4 songs on the Pretty Hot split are brilliant.


My favorite folk punk split is defiance, ohio and one reason. One of the gems of my record collection.

Yeah, the Pretty Hot split is awesome too. Surprisingly, I might actually like their side a bit more if only because of 'Carlisle'.

I haven't heard the Defiance, Ohio/One Reason split but 'All Rivers Run South, All Roads Lead Home' is a pretty decent album.

Blackbird Raum! They use all sorts of neat instruments to create a very unique sound.

Oh the new Dave Dondero and Sundowner are both just golden.

Folk Punk?
 

Fantastic stuff. Recently I have been enjoying This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Ghost Mice and especially Andrew Jackson Jihad. There is something about the album Can't Maintain that is just...well great.

Thoughts, recommendations, or general appreciation of a truly underrated genre.

I like your tastes already, annoying one character name.

If you like those three, I would assume you've heard of my favorite band, Defiance, Ohio...

Pat the Bunny is the best lyricist in thd world.

Against Me!'s first album is very folky.

Hail Seizures from Olympia

You mean great, right?

I'm pretty positive he means great. Although they aren't really folk punk.

Durdee Thurdy!

I saw this band called Dirty Kid Discount who I think is folk punk.

They were very good!!

Sledding With Tigers is amazing and you can listen to their music for free on their website (I'm too new to post links but it's sleddingwithtigers . com / music-man)

We just played a house party with Dirty Kid Discount a couple weeks ago. Awesome guys.

bump cause best genre

Might be the genre I sing the most. It's a nice mix of melody, emotion and roughness.
