for some reason or another every time i think of folk punk i think of muppets and this band:

The Frogtown Hollow Jubilee Jug Band



A four piece band.

Emmet Otter - Washtub Bass
Wendell Porcupine - Jug
Charlie Beaver - Cigar Box Banjo
Harvey Muskrat - Kazoo & Washboard

"Barbecue"

"Brothers"

The band played in a television special called: "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas"

 

Not technically a folk-punk band, 1981 from Finland combine elements of classic and classy vintage tuneful anarchopunk (Chumba, Alternative, Political Asylum, The Mob, Zounds...) and indie/folk-punk sound. They have good lyrics and while a bit too cheesy at times for me (folk-punk inevitably reminds me of vegan cookies, bikes and hipster glasses) they won me over by covering a Political Asylum number.

Again not a pure folk-punk band, but Blyth Power blended catchy punk-rock with tunes and amazing voices with classic English folk music (and folklore I might add). This is a tragically underrated band in the anarchopunk world and yet one of the most original and productive. I defy anyone to resist the impulse to sing their songs while showering on sunday mornings.

 

Also worth a mention are Seize the day a little bit more on the hippy tip but most definately anarchists some times they remind me of a folky CRASS.

A really good folky track from an anarcho punk band was this track Pillow talk by Karma Sutra

In Kent at the moment. It's Broadstairs Folk Week. Chumbawamba are playing tonight. One of their last shows ever and my only chance to see them. I hope it's a joy.

 

HOLY FUCK! I am so grateful that I found this thread. Literally like 10 hours ago I thought to myself that I wish there was some sick folk bands out there because I really enjoy the Bob Dylan type sound. Thank you for helping me discover a new branch on the ever-growing tree that is Punk Rock music.

 

ursula and rosa

 

http://punknecks.com for some folk punk music

 

i fucking HATE hippy fucking folk punk, some of the worst music in my opinion

 

Ain't no hippy shit today I'm here to tell ya lol
If skinheads dig it and you hate it ya might wanna recOnsider that ya hate yourself lol

 

I really like Mischief Brew, then again I like most of that east-coast punk nowadays, the C-Squat bands are what really got me into punk music as a whole.
