NOISECAST #2 – FOLK PUNK

I started this noisecast by trying to make a pop punk mix and failing miserably (the only track remaining is “Glendora”). I know that not all of these songs are “folk-punk” in the strictest sense, and you die hard folk-punkers will probably scoff at a bunch of my choices, but I selected these songs under the criteria that they all had something punk about them, and that they were acoustic, not because they were traditional anarcho-folk-punk jams (though you still get “Punx win!”).

Its loose, but I think it flows pretty well.

Bright Eyes – If Winter Ends

Rilo Kiley – Glendora

Defiance, Ohio – Grandma Song

Leftover Crack – Soon We’ll Be Dead

Violent Femmes – Out The Window

Mischief Brew – Punx Win! Electric

Okkervil River - Black

Against Me! – Joy

New Release: Against Me! – White Crosses

White Crosses, Against Me!’s second album with Sire records (the follow up to their critically acclaimed New Wave), finds the band working again with Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, L7, Garbage). Listen to the em’ moving even farther away from their folk-punk roots in these two tracks.

Against me! – Because of the Shame

Against me! – Ache With Me
