	Folk punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Folk punk is seen as exploring the legacy of traditional American folk music, which often contained themes of working class solidarity and community resistance facing the encroaching problems of industrialization and modern capitalism.
		Folk punk is a genre of music that combines elements of folk and punk rock music.
		Among these are Against Me!- perhaps the best known folk punk band - although their sound has been moving more and more towards general punk rock and has moved away from the DIY (do it yourself) ethic that is central to the genre.

	Anti-folk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anti-folk had its roots in punk rock, and is still considered by some to be an active subgenre within that scene.
		Anti-folk (or antifolk) is a genre of music related to punk rock and American folk music that originated in the mid-1980s in New York City.
		Anti-folk, as appropriated by Beck on albums such as Mellow Gold and Stereopathetic Soul Manure, mixes the musical style of folk music with punk, as well as ironic and often nonsensical lyrics.

	Rock and roll
		Punk rock attracted devotees from the art and collegiate world and soon bands sporting a more literate, arty approach, such as the Talking Heads and Devo began to infiltrate the punk scene; in some quarters the description New Wave began to be used to differentiate these less overtly punk bands.
		Punk and post-punk bands would continue to appear sporadically, but as a musical scene, punk had largely self-destructed and been subsumed into mainstream new-wave pop by the mid-1980s, but the influence of punk has been substantial.
		If punk rock was a social and musical phenomenon, it garnered little in the way of record sales (small specialty labels such as Stiff Records had released much of the punk music to date) or American radio airplay, as the radio scene continued to be dominated by mainstream formats such as disco and Album-Oriented Rock.

	WAITING FOR U.S. RAIL
		PUNK BOY: Firstly, these songs are not chronological, “She Said”, for example, being an old Spy Smasher song recorded with an air of vain self-importance yet each song evokes its own U.S. Rail "folk-influenced punk-derived style".
		PUNK BOY: The muzzy attenuation of “Who Am I Today?” as a whole is nullified by the glory that is “Infinite Spark”, truly the proverbial "one you've been waiting for".
		FOLK MAN: Still, the listener is treated to "Blender Wins Again", in which the narrator is tortured by his partner's ability to ingratiate himself to anyone while simultaneously not being liked by anyone.

	Punk rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Punk rock also emerged as a reaction against certain tendencies that had overtaken popular music in the 1970s, including what the punks saw as superficial "disco" music and grandiose forms of heavy metal, progressive rock and "arena rock".
		Punk rock emphasised simple musical structure and short songs, extolling a DIY ethic that insisted anyone could form a punk rock band (the early UK punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue once famously included drawings of three chord shapes, captioned, "this is a chord, this is another, this is a third.
		Punk rock in Britain coincided with the rise of Thatcherism, and nearly all British punk bands expressed an attitude of angry social alienation.

	alt.punk as folk group
		Punk has spun off many divergent styles that can all be classified under the larger heading "punk", and therefore alt.punk is made up of a lot of people with very diverging interests and styles.
		Since alt.punk is ostensibly about punk music and culture, all types of music exchanging are ways to build networks both within the newsgroup, and in the larger punk "subculture".
		Admittedly, the term "punk" has become far too complicated to properly deconstruct within the confines of this paper; the "regulars" on alt.punk probably could not agree on a definition that would satisfy everyone.

	Salon What is a Jewish lesbian punk folk singer to do?
		Her voice is sweet, reminiscent of Joan Baez, decidedly more folk than punk, and the group gathered outside -- parents, children and singles alike -- sways and nearly breaks into song.
		In the late-'70s and early-'80s she was a fixture of the L.A. punk scene, playing in bands like Nervous Gender and Catholic Discipline alongside such punk notables as the Circle Jerks and X.
		Yet the punk element was not enough to completely erase all of my unappealing free associations with Tupperware: the drab '50s bungalows, the career housewives, the bad meatloaf and the bad, bad plastic juju.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / Phranc's folk/punk has perspective
		The longstanding, self-proclaimed "All-American Jewish lesbian folk singer" has been performing since the late '70s, getting her start amid the trash and junkies haunting the LA punk scene as guitarist for the nasty iconoclasts Catholic Discipline.
		It seems apparent that newer lesbian punk eruptions including the Queercore Blitz East, a tour including the Kitty Kill; '90s riot grrl outfits such as Bikini Kill and Team Dresch; and even the pansexual struts of electro ice queen Peaches can be traced in part back to Phranc.
		It was comforting that a pioneering gay elder with a spiky flattop, combat boots, and cuffed Levis could inspire straight lovebirds, hipsters, and aging feminists alike with playful odes to her partner, biting social commentary, and a eulogy for a dead rodeo parakeet named Ouija.

	Billy Bragg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2004 he collaborated with US pop punk band Less Than Jake for a re-recording of their song "The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out".
		Around the time William Bloke was released, Bragg was asked by Nora Guthrie, daughter of American folk legend Woody Guthrie, to set some of her father's unrecorded lyrics to music.
		Their main influences in the early 1970s were The Faces, The Small Faces, The Rolling Stones and eventually, punk.

		Not averse to the odd pint and a good ole hoe down themselves the lads decided to start their own folk inspired group though they were keen to use it positively.
		Fortunately, a replacement appeared in the form of Simon Friend an established musician on the accoustic/folk circuit, who brought to the band several of his own compositions which were quickly incorporated into their set.
		They score top 10 albums and singles, they play huge sell-out concerts across Europe and whether they like it or not they are the figurehead for the crusties and travellers the anarcho punks and hippies, the festival lovers and bean- butter eaters, the young and disenfranchised and the just plain bonkers.

		If you guessed "D," then chances are you understand the premise and the point behind "Punks Are Folks Too," a showcase that tonight will put a slate of talented punk performers from Boston and beyond on acoustic display at the legendary Cambridge folk haunt Club Passim.

		It contains a brief description of the mixture of Irish traditional folk music and punk rock that the Pogues mix to create their songs.
		Alongside many of the political folk songs of Ireland, there were a number of poets who said their two bits about the relevant issues of the time.
		Since many of the early political folk songs also have these attributes I thought it would be helpful in describing the music itself.

	Two Gallants Alive Records 'The Throes' album 'I'm Her Man' single
		A lot of folks first came into contact with this band in their kitchen or a friend's kitchen or on a corner somewhere in San Francisco.
		Folk music is from the folks, not from the machine.
		A guitar and drums two-piece that applies heavy volume to a blend of country, folk and blues in a manner reminiscent of the early work of "No Depression" genre pioneers Uncle Tupelo, they're from San Francisco, though their Americana sound suggests the South or Midwest.

	UWO Gazette - Thursday, January 14, 1999
		The Demics were a punk band which formed in London, Ontario in 1977 and, as with most punk bands, sank into oblivion by the early '80s.
		The most inventive track of the album is not a Demics song at all, but a techno/punk tribute to the glory of the punk era and its rejection of traditional values.
		However, the songs the Demics played were true to the style of '77 punk – loud, snotty and reckless.

	Shite'n'Onions - reviews
		Influenced by punk, reggae, rockabilly, and country, they developed a unique sound that spat a gob of folk-punk inspired flem into the faces of the synth-pop wankers, and kicked the new romantics of the day in the nuts with a steel-toed boot soiled with Ayrshire sod.
		Folk music speaks of the truth, and when I want to find out about the daily life of a paticular place, I'm not going to reach for some bland travel guide from AAA, I'm going to be looking for some folk music from that paticular area of interest.
		Equal parts vaudeville, punk rhythms and gypsy music, this is unlike anything many of you have ever been subjected to.

		Finding inspiration in the righteous anger of punk rock and the socially conscious folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg was the leading figure of the anti-folk movement of the '80s.
		The songwriters and performers in the anti-folk movement were raised on punk, inspired by its raw, direct power.
		After leaving the Army, he began working at a record store; while he was working, he was writing songs that were firmly in the folk and punk protest tradition.

	two gallants - the throes - review by justaddnoise[dot]com
		It takes a hyphenated genre name, (Folk-Punk is the best I can think of) to describe the sound of Two Gallants.
		Not the most original comment, especially considering any folk singer would probably list Dylan as a major influence on their career, but it has to be said.
		In this case, the comparison to early Bob Dylan mixed with any number of punk acts is impossible to ignore.

	American rockers don't mind the mixture
		The Pogues, an Irish-English band that plays Irish folk music with a raw attack that both celebrates and defies tradition, fits the description ''folk-punk'' exactly.
		The Pogues are giving their fans something different and are acquainting them with a folk tradition they might never have otherwise known.
		MacGowan's music, like the folk songs they imitate, tell stories.

	Official Mischief Brew Web Site! - Ingredients...
		The tape had many styles of folk besides traditional Americana: from the Klezmer-punk of “A Liquor Never Brewed” to the medieval green-anarchist march of “One Stone Cast,” the tape robbed from many cultural styles of folk music, and spiked the brew with punk rock.
		With these two releases in the arsenal, Mischief Brew toured thrice in the U.S., played punk houses and rowdy bars for punks, hippies, folksters, locals, workers, ramblers, trainhoppers, hitchhikers, and all of their parents.
		Once upon a time, an energetic punk kid from the Philly area confined himself to a basement with an acoustic guitar, a rickety drum kit, a mandolin, and a four-track to stir a bunch of ideas together into a broth of songs.

		There’s always been a similarity of ideals in the grassroots folk of Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg to the antiestablishment punk movement, a connection Barr is astute enough to fully understand.
		Few bands can attest to the accomplishments of the Dropkicks: from its humble beginnings as an Irish-tinged punk act to Boston to the kings of Shamrock Punk, to its days of defining a new sub-genre, the Dropkick Murphys have proven themselves to be one of the modern era’s most influential bands.
		They do hope, however, that the slight overtones of folk that color their sound will plant the seeds of interest in other music.
