Folk Punk
 

Does anyone here have the lowdown on some good folk-punk (not celtic-punk)?

Andrew Jackson Jihad, Matty Pop Chart, Defiance Ohio, This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb...

Damn >_< I already have those.....:(

Ghost Mice, Spoonboy

Okay, I have no Spoonboy so I'll check that out. Thanks!

Just because bands are on PIX doesn't mean they're folk punk such as matty pop chart. He is damn good though.

Young Pioneers
Mischief Brew
Rosa
Bread & Roses
Wingnut Dishwashers Union

all right dude im here to help ya out. i am a bit of a folk punk man myself. ya ready?
Evan Greer
johnny hobo and the freight trains
the can kickers
splitlip rayfield (kinda more bluegrassy than folk but still.
Dufus (harder to find but a couple songs are on project playlist thanks to moi)
the gun club (more kinda roots rocky)
devil in a woodpile
Endless Mike And The Beagle Club
Joey Only Outlaw Band
Major Matt Mason Usa
Toby Goodshanks
Bread And Roses
Hamell On Trail
Mutiny
World/Inferno friendship society
Freakwater
The Amazing crowns(kinda cowpunkish)

johnny hobo & the freight trains rule

wingnuts dishwashers union is better

its the same guy pat the bunny is johnny hobo AND wingnut

i love w/ifs, but are they really folk punk? i would have put them more in a... i dunno... cabaret kind of style of punk.

well i know but theyre always hanging with the can kickers and mischief brew and some of their stuff sounds a little funky there really isnt anywhere to put them

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.

Modern sense? Elaborate.

ive done some shows with a lot of folk punk bands(im from the same city as ghost mice (bloomington indiana) and trust me i dont think any of these guys are gonna get tired of it anytime soon myself included. folk punk is only gonna get bigger dude>

For folk punk you should check out Defiance, Ohio...

Do the Pogues count?

just look at early bright eyes albums

Wingnut Dishwashers union, he also goes by the name Pat The Bunny, and Johnny Hobo and The Freight trains.


He's homeless and lives in his car. He has friends that run a site and MySpace for him. If i were to ever be in some huge popular band I would definitaly take this guy on tour with me, such a cool dude.

Wingnut Dishwashers Union : Spare Change Records

^amazing human.

lofi and folk punk are kind of different.

All you need is AJJ and Nana Grizol.

Nana Grizol you say....I might have to look into that.

Fevers & Mirrors (most songs on this works for this thread, usually better live though)

What makes it folk is the music, what makes it punk is the vocals

Listen dude, bright eyes aren't really folk punk.

Defiance, Ohio are pretty good.. to whoever mentioned them down there.
They offer free downloads of all their albums here: download audio files

I see them get compared to AJJ a lot, who I love. I'll check them out.

I'm on a huuge Tossers kick lately. <3 love.

Wow, I can't believe I saw no reference to Flogging Molly on this thread. - Perhaps I'm too old to be hip?!

Does Gogol Bordello count? I love them.

I dont know if you would exactly call this punk, i know i sure as hell wouldnt, but this is really the only modern, but this is the only english band i follow that's not that well known in america , but there a pretty good band

lol wow
 

haha thats definitely not folk punk foxie.
more like world music?
i think gogol counts tho.


im a huge folk punk fan
i guess it opened my eyes to all the hippies in the world. theyre cool people.



recently got into frank turner.
his acoustic stuff. its not extremely punk, but his roots are definitely punk (million dead). its decent music none the less.

i do wish i could find another band as talented as mischief brew. no luck in all my months of searching. in my opinion, w/ifs and andrew jackson jihad just dont compare. mischief is unique. ugh. i love them.


suggestions no one has mentioned -
beans on toast
against me's earlier stuff.

Calling Friendly Fires 'world music' is just as big a stretch as calling them Folk Punk. They're an electronic/disco kicking indie band.

You guys all ahve a very ecclectic taste in music

Boy do they! It never ceases to amaze me

i've only really heard AJJ and i freakin love them, any other reccomendations?
