Folk-Punk

[Gimgak]

Anyone else here a fan of Folk-Punk music? I personally love a bit of punk on acoustic instruments. Folk-Punk is of course a bit more than that but it's the basic idea.

Some artists I like include:
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Filthy Thieving Bastards
Ghost Mice
This Bike is a Pipe Bomb
Wingnut Dishwasher's Union
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains

Andrew Jackson Jihad

YES! My friend just recently turned me onto them. They're awesome.

I'll have to give the rest of these bands a shot now.

Oh damn I didn't see anyone responding to this thread. Yeah AJJ is awesome they're my favorite band in the genre, followed by Ghost Mice.

It seems that lately I've been unable to listen to any other genres. Listening to these bands just makes me want to pick up an acoustic guitar and start playing some tunes

Haven't gotten that much into the sub-genre, but I love my fair share of Flogging Molly.

Completely amazing. They played a sold out show a couple miles from my house literally 2 months before I started listening to them on a consistant basis. :sad:
