Just clearing out more Compost Heap videos. April wasn’t there so Pigeon did the obligatory “they can’t kill us all”
She really is a dope person and I think everyone here loves the shit out of that song. It feels as relevant today as ever.

Hope to see yall next year

We talked at the sheetz in cranberry one evening. You told me you were writing songs. I wanna hear them. I wanna link up. Also anyone else from up this way, whatchu working on??
With love, Bowen (overdoseonvitamins bass player)

Playing a brand new song I wrote two days ago, from

I'm 46 and have dug into basically all sub-genres of punk and hardcore for a couple decades now, but never came across this before, til Cardiac Arcade done educated me. And here I was sat here thinking Violent Femmes & The Pogues in the early 80's were the first folk punk bands

Hey folk punk redditors! Dropping the flier for this sick south side Chicago folk punk show this weekend! It’s a double birthday show for our banjo player and tuba player(folk punk tuba?? 👀) hope to see y’all there! Will be super fun and the bill is super rad!

This isnt a song. But this music and story's like pat the bunny. Helps me realise I can do this.

And that authenticity and being fucked up are not the same thing.

Got a comment on youtube for this song. Saying im like a pat the bunny but cooler. Maybe y'all can help me figure out what that means. As I dont get it. But do love pat

From what my little brother has told me, what differentiates folk punk from regular punk is that folk punk uses acoustic folk instruments while sticking to punk texts.

So what are punk songs generally about? Well, some examples are:

1. How unfair and backwards the system is.
   
2. How unfair and backwards past systems have been.
   
3. How much the love/hate certain places.
   
4. How fun it is to get drunk.
   
5. How fun it is to have sex.
   
6. How much ass the ones in power suck.
   
7. Tragic love.

This is, of course, in stark difference from classic folk music which tends to cover subjects such as:

1. How unfair and backwards the system is.
   
2. How unfair and backwards past systems have been.
   
3. How much the love/hate certain places.
   
4. How fun it is to get drunk.
   
5. How fun it is to have sex.
   
6. How much ass the ones in power suck.
   
7. Tragic love.

Unnecessary but frankly irresistible snark aside, what separates folk punk from regular folk music?

P.s. English isn’t my first language, so please bear that in mind.

Top 5 Most Commented

My god if you haven’t seen Myles, do everything possible to make it happen.
I’ve seen them 5 times now and every single time it just gets better and better

No other artist causes such a visceral emotional response in me. His stories, lyrics, intensity, gentleness, visual, all of it.

I’ve never finished a show of his without crying

I’ve also included a brief video of our Pigeon doing a solo Rotten performance.

We are at an amazing amazing moment in folk punk

A new independent up and coming artist called Eli Wiley

Well Day 3 ended and it was without a doubt a 10/10 festival. The organizers put in so much work that they deserve just all the love in the world. Keeping that shit together must be so exhausting.

Overall fantastic day. Myles performed and melted everyone’s heart and made me cry. Him and Ceschi doing Friends in Real Life was an unexpected highlight. Grinning Death continues to shock and awe Denver.

Crow Cavalier was stunning (which is typical). Hanging out with Chris Og from Troll2 was a delight, having Brooke Pridemoore do a free style song and it being awesome was great.

There was a singer (band) Chris (god I’m forgetting the name off the top of my head)… but they fucking smashed.‘astonishing performance. Had the whole gang on stage tell fuck the cops and fuck your gender binary. First time hearing them and wow.

Pigeon and I got to spend a lot of time together which is always amazing and getting to hangout with Ceschi on a comrade level was dope as shit

Best tho::we got another 59 letters sent to prisoners. That means over 170 over the weekend. Just unreal.

This song is a story and like all bad stories, it doesn't get told in the order it should be. A non binary 10 year old whom I deeply care for drew the cover art for me at a show in Paris, Ontario earlier this year. One day this kid is gonna see a world that is better than the one our parents left us, and that only happens if we actively do it. Love and appreciate you all!

Recorded this months ago before my students were let out for Summer Break. I forgot to post but was really proud of how the cover came out. I hope y'all like it as much as I did covering it!

P.s. if you haven't given Trashbag Ponchos a listen they are FANTASTIC. I strongly recommend them to everyone I know that likes folk punk. (Which isn't many unfortunately haha)
