Been really into Apes of the State lately. Especially Plate Glass Apology and I shot a Gun Today. They're a little more positive than most Folk Punk Bands. I've been going between them, We The Heathens and the Railyard Ghosts. I'm an old Punk. I'm 44. Only found this Genre like 5 years ago. Saw Days n Daze on a whim one night. Immediately hooked. Been to A LOT of shows over the last 30 years and it was the most fun I had in a LONG time.
Hell yeah. No folk punk here in Arkansas - damn shame. Local News Legend is great, a bit of a different side to folk punk. As far as battle anthems, I’m a big fan of Benediction by Trash Boat & The Ambush. Slower, but gets you going in the folk punk mentality. If I ever play a show, I think I’d end with a cover of it.
I know that this isn't the video but in your steel punk video I think Endless Space 2 The United Empire is a good example of the genre, hear their theme song will be quite in the point, as well as their ships
idk why but i stated watching this and suddenly rememembered getting dragged out of class by my arm in 2nd grade dragged me into the office, because i wouldnt stop singing "youre flag decal wont get you into heaven anymore" by John Prine (i knew every word already, I grew up in a musical family with my first recorded vocal on a hippie/christian/liberal charity fundraiser album. around the same time period. like 1982, it would be 1989 before i discovered punk, after a short hip hop fling followed by a couple years of Iron Maiden worship, although i had already been obsessed with punk fashiom after seeing a group of punks in SF on a road trip with my parents age 10, in particular a really hot 20 something year old (or could have been 17, when your ten it looks about the same, but she had a 10 inch platinum pink mohawk and tight leather pants, studded jacket and a midrif torn leopard print top, freud would probably credit my obsession with leopard print to that isolated moment of pre teen early onset puberty horniness, in fact just maybe i would have never discovered punk otherwise, no way to know unless i had a time machine, but thats when punk became equated with "cool" in my horny little brain.
no, go to a show, punk in any of its incarnations can only be truly understood or appreciated if you go to some shows and talk to the people you meet, and if its your first realize some will be asss holes and scenesters that will cold shoulder you, esp until you are a familiar face at shows, but others are open and welcoming and willing to give you a chance as long as you dont look like a cop or come across as fake, I live in PDX where we still have couple good venues and get national acts, including those that are DIY but our local and underground scene is faltering, (but still alive) most of the punks i grew up with are dead, and those left have mosttly died now from fentanyl leavung my generation bedly wounded and destitute, we need all true subgenres of punk to come together and support eachother, no one else is going to save punk rock from factionalism and exploitation followed by discardment and becoming a footnote in a history text, except all of us working together. Peace and love to all the real punks.
lol na man I didn’t mean the punks themselves. we are indeed a warm welcoming people, mostly. I ment the subject matter of the songs in Folkpunk and even then that’s not a fair assessment either. Maybe it is the evolution of hippies but I ain’t say it.
thats not fair, firstly cuz there are no remaining hippies, they all sold out and bought in, and disco and cocaine finished off those who didnt. it happened because real punks gave up or lost the comforts of homes and jobs and still had the need to create, so they found a way to to it while train hopping, hitch hiking, or rubber tramping the country, i mean, just my little 15 watt tube combo amp is like 35 pounds, and my 4x12 cab i cant even carry up a flight of stairs (a short one even) without help, would be a little hard to travel with unless i had a van that ran reliably at the least, and good luck to a drummer trying to hop a train with their kit, it was an innovation born of necessity like all the best ones are.
@@Rock_Bottom_Denizen Portland is one of the most annoying, pretentious cities in the country. It's the Williamsburg of the West Coast. Gatekeeping hipster assholes. It was kind of silly seeing all the hipsters walking around in brand new work gear pretending to be train hoppers, LOL. You're not cool just because you live in Portland.
I don't like Folk punk, dunno how i got here, but The Dreadnaughts? One of my favourite bands, easily. Why didn't you give them a mention? Not obscure enough for you?
@@NylasWUP these days folks seem to lump celyic punk in with folk punk including the pogues and flogging molly, im more about "what happened to the days when all the punks had a hangout spot where they exchanged info on shows, music like mix tapes and albums etc, and all get fucked up together, hell even anti racist skinheads used to party and hang out with the punks in PDX, for decades, house punks, crusties, skinheads, rockabilly kids, all used to be one block, there were fist fights and squabbles, but mostly there was unity, esp if the threat came from outside the punk and anti racist umbrella.
@@Rock_Bottom_Denizen their still around had a friend tell me a story about a wild time in SF a while back and why their a hard rule now about hot plates at the squat. That rule is no because they had two almost fires in the same hr. I also follow a TikTok’r (ironically a folk punk) looking for a new house show house because the ones she knows atm is too far away without a car.
One of my fave punk genres that hit hard during spring and early summer
AJJ and Ghost Mice are also great.

You need more comments.
Check out Matt Pless
Matt Pless is so good. Ryan Harvey is good too
@@Illitha I haven't heard of Ryan Harvey. I'll check him out. Thanks

Is folk punk just an evolution of the remaining hippies?
Na not enough live and love
no, go to a show, punk in any of its incarnations can only be truly understood or appreciated if you go to some shows and talk to the people you meet, and if its your first realize some will be asss holes and scenesters that will cold shoulder you, esp until you are a familiar face at shows, but others are open and welcoming and willing to give you a chance as long as you dont look like a cop or come across as fake, I live in PDX where we still have couple good venues and get national acts, including those that are DIY but our local and underground scene is faltering, (but still alive) most of the punks i grew up with are dead, and those left have mosttly died now from fentanyl leavung my generation bedly wounded and destitute, we need all true subgenres of punk to come together and support eachother, no one else is going to save punk rock from factionalism and exploitation followed by discardment and becoming a footnote in a history text, except all of us working together.

Idk, I'd consider them polka. He brought up Dayz & Dayz which I think is the most well known folk punk band
🤷 I don’t know how anyone finds these videos? They’re not celticpunk band? They sound like one.
