    Not really familiar with the genre but I have enjoyed some stuff of Adam Green (is Moldy peaches also considered anti-folk then?). I think it was Friends of mine. Not sure if it had a punk attitude though.

    ah yeah, cant believe i forgot moldy peaches on the list.

    adam green is considered anti-folk, kinda. he's strayed away from the "typical anti-folk" sound.

    some of the stuff doesnt really have a punk attitude, but a lot of his stuff does, a lot of songs about drugs and crazy shit.

    I've got some of Regina Spektor's albums. I like to listen to them when I'm in the mood, but have to be in the mood. I think she's considered Anti-Folk.
