ITT: Recommend some Folk Punk

Let's post some good, maybe not well known folk and acoustic inspired punk bands. Let's try to steer away from the obvious ones like Mischief Brew, D, OH, Ghost Mice, etc. I'll start by posting some of my recent favorites.

Pedals On Our Pirate Ships
Fear Like Us
imadethismistake
Punkin Pie
Redbear
Abortion Clinic Waste Bin
Attica! Attica!

I'll keep adding to the list of course.
Let's see how big/diverse this gets!

Abortion Clinic Waste Bin

wtf?!

Yeah, the name really stuck out for me as well. Helluva voice though.

Oh, I forgot:

Skeletonbreath
O'Death

all of Pat the Bunny's music (Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Wingnut Dishwasher's Union..)
Bread and Roses
Rosa
Bombs and Beating Hearts
the folks at riotfolk.org
This Bike is a Pipe Bomb (is that obvious? I feel like that's obvious.)

is Abortion Clinic Waste Bin Jim Doyle's band? He was one of the first people I knew that liked AM! He did a one man AM! cover band at a show we used to have called Skalloween where all the bands "dressed up" as other bands. It was almost as good as a real AM! show.

Paul Baribeau. (he might be kind of obvious i guess, but still amazing)

I know nothing of the band except for an album that I have.

Where can I get a sample of Bomb Over Beating Hearts? (besides myspace)

ANDREW
JACKSON
FUCKIN
JIHAD

one of my friends just found out i had never listened to them and sent me a song... pretty awesome.
is there anyplace online to hear more?

im going to get crucified for saying this, but most folk-punk sounds exactly the same and is really not worth listening to.

I think that depends on how broad your definition of folk-punk is. I've never been good at putting music into categories because frankly I don't think most of it fits into one anymore... I think my reaction to "folk punk" spreads a little most towards folk than other peoples... now, if you start hating on folk music there might be trouble.

hah, i dont listen to all too much folk punk.
but i do love folk music.
i really really love irish folk music.
haha is the result of growing up in a very irish family

"folk-punk," IMO is one of the most subjective of all categories. I've heard alot of people call The Riot Before and other bands that sound more punky to me folk-punk. I mean, wikipedia has The Tossers listed as a folk-punk band. Whatevs.

I'll give you back operation cliff calvin and max levine, but stick by my guns and say this is my fist is folk-punk. but that might be because i listen to their acoustic stuff, mostly.

Theres a reason Tom Gabel sat around listeningto his (Young) Pioneers records........the (Young) Pioneers are amazing!
