i like all of the bands listed already. i am listening to johnny hobo right now, and i recommend them, as well as the pat the bunny, the song writers new project the wingnut dishwashers union.
oh and mischief brew is amazing. eric petersen's the songwriter's old band will be playing reunion shows in brooklyn and philly next saturday and sunday jan 25-26. hit em up if you're down
The Greenland Whalefishers. Their song Father MacLean is a Headbanger cracks me up everytime Early up on the Sunday morning Wash his face, have a quick shave and a single cup of tea Grab his sermon, his eyes start glowing He knows a great light in life, he wanna share with you and me He's no jerk He's dressed for pulpit work Saturday's an other story Walkin' down rainy streets to join another side of life Always late, "hey love let's hurry" Hand in hand with a sunshine who will soon become his wife Hey that's cool Let the good time rule Father McLean is a headbanger Bang his head when the music rules the air He's inside, a sound injection Yes we all need some kicks to push our logic on a ride He joins the "I don't care direction" He lays off sad confessions, doubts and teenage suicide Now you're free Shake your brain McLean
I recently discovered Paul Baribeau and I'm digging what I've heard so far. I'll be sure to check out the genre more and report back with anything I find.
Johnny hobo and the freight trains and mischief brew are pure awesome also whiskey smile and tea and rice are pretty cool
I kindof like wingnut dishwasher's union more than johnny hobo... rosa is good too, and everyone knows defiance, ohio. I'm undecided about their new album though :/ everything from the riot folk collective is pure awesome, tom frampton is beast.
I need to get a hold of some folk punk. I've been hearing about stuff like this quite a bit and it sounds like an interesting mixture. What should I look for?
Check out any album by Against Me before New Wave. This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb is good. Mischief Brew has a good album called Songs From Under the Sink. Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains is a rather raw sounding folk punk band. Defiance, Ohio is also another good one.
dustin kensrue from Thrice did some folksy stuff. their new albums they're releasing has some folk element to it.
