A place for folk punk!

I love it. But tbh I was kinda mad when I heard about it bc I had been holed up in my house and passively suicidal, now I'm like making plans to move to a new state and get sober... ugh. Like I immediately felt like I had no excuse to wallow any longer. Shit even if I do wanna die,, might as well do it with like minded folk fighting at maximum capacity.

I honestly did cry super hard at the thought that I may actually just need to scrape myself up and at least spread kindness, especially now. I was inspired and mad that I knew it too hahaha

Shameless, shameless self promotion. New single off of the upcoming live album.

Super excited to play my first Bent Beak show with Local News Legend! If you’re in the area come hang out<3

Hey yall, So recently I got informed that I’m going to be getting evicted from my place very soon(tldr my roommate and ex best friend fucked me over) and once I have to leave I’m probs gonna have to live in my car for a while. I’m extremely fortunate that my parents will be holding on to some of my belongings while I am but for lots of reasons I can’t move back in with them unfortunately, but I need to keep my guitar on hand while I do cause I’ll be having an album release this year and I’m trying to do some shows hit open mics n whatnot. Do yall have any good tips for kinda lowkey all of that? Like while I’m homeless what’re things I can do to get shows, keep my guitar in good condition, stay safe, keep in good health/hygiene etc. I’m in the Hudson valley area between Poughkeepsie and Beacon btw:))

Also just cause I’m vein here’s my Bandcamp snufftheweasel.bandcamp.com

They released a huge list with contacts to help you tour europe!

Hi friends: I'm a folk punk artist (the SubAltern) looking for Folk Punk artists in the Central Massachusetts area (NH, RI, CT, VT, ME) for a Folk Punk show in Worcester MA. I'm thinking outdoors, April, so this is a bit down the road. Possible locations: June St. at Cordella's Coffee Shop, or Elm Park. Please DM me if you're interested, and we'll make some mutually agreeable plans.

Any feedback is appreciated

I just notice many ex forensics people around and that seemed interesting.

I'm a proud Australian writing and releasing what I would consider to be "Folk Punk" music, but the greater community seems to disagree, simply because it isn't "raw" or "leftist" enough. Is this really a thing? I've been a fan of Folk Punk since 2015. Am I really an outcast in this community now?

Here is my music for reference: https://theokidd.bandcamp.com/album/dear

Please don't cancel me out just because I'm not "raw" or "leftist" enough, or because I'm not an American.

Hey!

I am familiar with all of the (and I hate to use this word but...) "popular" bands that usually come up when speaking about folk punk and variations of the genre.

I'm looking for gritty acoustic music that I haven't discovered yet, like when Chad Fontaine (RIP) was playing with Grant Faithful(RIP) in "Annoying" - specifically 'Broke and Hungry' and 'Why do I do' - like that kind of raw as fuck deep vocal sound (like the exact opposite of AJJ or Harley Poe) and some guitar...etc.

If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it, I live for new music but have been stuck in a drought recently.

I've been really digging the new Pigeon Pit album but am otherwise out of touch with the current folk punk scene. Does anyone care to provide me with some newer bands/albums (loosely thinking 2020+ but I'm not splitting hairs on the exact release date) that I should be checking out? Most of the folk punk I listen to is from the 2000s/2010s.

..And it went over really, really well.

My team is still standing after a major thousand plus person layoff last summer, but because of 'progress' and a year of project work, we're now drowning in too much work and all burnt out and extremely stressed out from the expectations put on us.

We were all sitting in zoom extremely angsty about how much chaos was going on around us and how little we could actually do. So I put on Rent Strike and told people to just vibe-- and it helped a ton, everyone said that they felt like they were able to let out their anxiety and anger into the music and keep on trucking.

Folk Punk is power. <3

In a small way of fighting back, I've been planning out some tags and sticker ideas. Want to add yours?

"No place for hate. Except Nazis. We hate Nazis"

"We need Jamie fookin' Lanister"

"Luigi needs his brother"

"Resistance is your civic duty"

"Save a life. Key a cybertruck"

So i was listening to some Doom Scroll and couldn't help be notice a lot of horror themes and got me thinking

Are there any like horror folk punk bands

Im very much into horror themed music, so ide love some recommendations if anyones got some

Thanks in advance

Just found this band. I can't be the only one that likes folk punk and crust punk and grind. These guys add some folk instruments into the crust in a very tasteful way and thought you all might like a listen.
