With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

  • Motif Interviews Joey Cape of Lagwagon,Top 10 Acts to See at Boston Calling,Album of the Week: Heaters' Holy Water Pool,Rob&Am
    Motif Interviews Joey Cape of Lagwagon Believe it or not, there is a distinct relationship between folk music and punk rock. Once you go past the differences in amplification, the styles share a lot of similarities. Some of the best folk and punk songs have socially and politically significant lyrics about genuine life experiences. Most punk and folk songs have the infamous three-chord structure and both genres have the ability to strike a nerve. Folk artists such as the late Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Billy Bragg have as much musical gusto as punks like the late Joe Strummer, Jello Biafra and Laura Jean Grace. Over the past few years, a lot of contemporary punk rock artists made the shift to the singer-songwriter folk route when in their solo material. One of those artists who’ll be performing at The Parlour on Tuesday, September 29, is Joey Cape, who is the frontman for the Goleta, California, punk rock band Lagwagon. Cape and I had a chat about his opinion on the relationship between folk and punk, Fat Wreck Chords celebrating their 25th anniversary, the story behind his latest solo album Stitch Puppy and when fans can expect the next Lagwagon album to come out. Rob Duguay (Motif): With musicians like yourself, Lenny Lashley from Darkbuster & Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music doing folky singer-songwriter material, what in your opinion is the relationship between punk and folk music? Joey Cape: Punk rock traditionally has had chord progressions that are very similar to folk songs. Folk songs a lot of the time are somewhat political in their lyrics, so I think there is a very strong connection.
