Folk Punk Folks

A personal favourite. I'm excited by this community!

(edit: the studio recording is a little rough, but this YouTube version is especially scratchy - better to look for it on your platform of choice, unless it's Spotify, because fuck Daniel Ek in particular)

Decide to try out PieFed. Find folk punk community. I'm home.

Would y'all like a nomination/voting system or would you prefer a more curated experience?

Hello everyone!

Our second ever song of the day is about a region of the USA that's close to my heart, Pennsyltucky.

If you've ever been through that part of the country, you'll know exactly what this song is about. The region is defined, largely, by its similarity to similarity to the deep south. Poverty is universal, Southern twangs are thick, and Confederate flags are not an uncommon sight.

Discussion Questions:

How has the "ghost" of industry shaped the identity of Appalachia? How do we avoid leaving the region behind as the world leaves coal in the past and turns to cleaner, more efficient energy?

The singer touches on many reasons one might leave their hometown leave throughout the song (corruption, health risks, poverty, stagnation, etc), yet still feels drawn to it. Have you ever experienced a similar feeling in your life?

Greetings, programs! I don't know anything about folk punk, but I like a few bands that might be somewhere close. Mind if I reply to this post with a few songs and y'all can tell Me if they're folk punk?
