I'm curious to see if any of you guys are into folk punk. It's definitely something unique, check it out. Hell, if you like the Violent Femmes you should  definitely look into it, they're right on the border of the genre.

Here are some videos, but to really get into it you need to hear a song with either a banjo or a mandolin to get an idea of what it's all about.

D: omg no i haven't!!!!


I'm going to use this opportunity to bring up The World/Inferno Friendship Society as well. They're not particularly on topic, but they are my favorite band and they are connected with folk punk acts, despite being more along the lines of cabaret.

Mischief Brew is hilarious but it still sounds wrong to me to call it punk.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.
Hey!

Like an angel who’d been dancing with some devils.
I'm a bad girl with a hope for better day.
My laughter is spiced with mischief.
I won’t toss salt, kiss it up, or pray.
When you offer pink or blue I’ll take the blackest.
When you offer only two I’ll offer three.
When you point me in a direction I’ll run backwards.
And at the border of utopia I’ll toast to anarchy!

‘Cause fire and rock I'm coming home to you.
Well, I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew.
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through.
Fire and rock I'm coming home to you.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.
Hey!

So you’re saying Satan’s army is rising up soon.
While if it is I'm secretary of no state.
Got riches, rocks, and bottles in my tool pouch.
My desire is societies jail bait.

‘Cause there’s tons of guys moping about the workday.
Dimes by the dozens.
Their song weighs a thousand pounds.
But there’s nothing like a lady with a buzz saw.
I just might build your house but I just might tear it down.

‘Cause fire and rock I'm coming home to you.
Well, I'm picking the bones out of my dinner stew.
Open up the gates of hell and roll me through.
Fire and rock I'm coming home to you.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell boys.

Yeah, barkeeper we’ll surely have another.
To the witches, to the goblins, and the trolls.
I’ll be coming to recruit your rebel children.
There ain’t no use in locking doors,
There’s one of me in every hole.

With mud on my boots,
and blood on my jeans.
I’ll take those pretty dresses,
Tear ‘em at the seams.
Roll me through the gate of hell.
Ah please.
And I’ll be back in your daughter’s dreams.

I am a leader but you will not follow me.
I ain’t no preacher for I'm full of blasphemy.
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell
See you in hell boys.
See you in hell.
See you in hell boys.
Haha!

Aaahh der dead kennedys

its way to slow to be punk, i never heard of folk punk as a genre like that, sounds ridiculous, but i like to play my acoustic guitar really fast with friends and scream about immature political complaints, sounds more punk when you scream and its fast
