Finding this video almost 6 years late but there is so much heart in this project! I'm happy to know others share the same fondness for folk punk that I do. Beautiful work!

Cranford Nix??? Back 30 years ago

It's still around bro. I was just talking with some homeless dudes at the corner store about ramshackle glory. In my town specifically they have get together almost every week and just get fucked up and blast music. Some genuine souls in there.

Cool, I also whistle. I thought about a genre to play music in. Now I know it will be folk-punk.

greetings from Johannesburg <3

Naaaah man, no punk can't die, if you think folk punk is dying check out Punk With A Camera.

As a wise man once said, perhaps to himself and perhaps to everyone who holds this genre dear. Your heart is the size of your fist, keep on loving, keep on fighting and hold on, hold on, hold on for your life"

What is the name of the first song played during the intro?

Nice to see a flash of Harley Poe in there. Great band from my hometown of Kokomo Indiana

Lol, folkpunx not dead 👹👹

Oh there’s my backyard

As someone who doesn't really fit the punk astethic (at all) but adores the musical talent, conviction, and just overall amazing sound of folk punk, I'm very glad to see this. So glad I stumbled upon old time memory and somehow staggered down a rabbit hole to AJJ. I wish I knew anyone who actually enjoyed this amazing genre.

Tonys bar, no fucking way lol. I lived in newark for so long never wouldve guessed how many people like the same music here. This is amazing man :')

Check out ash bricky he is a new folk punk artists

There's plenty of us, we just get overshadowed by the hyper obsession towards the big names

Thanks for the update! Loved the doc and hope Folk Punk can continue to thrive.

Folk punk thanks to a few unexpected mediums I.E a social game known as VRChat has put the music in so many peoples ear's that have and probably would have never heard it. Folk punk currently is an amazing and growing community. Of course with every community it has its bad apple I.E Jesse Stewart (Fuck that guy do research on the recent news if one that see this supports him currently.) Folk Punk is just about the music as it is the community acceptance of ones sexuality race gender and all those other pleasantries. Now to me Folk Punk is equally as punk as it is letting people know they dont suffer alone. I miss the days of training hopping with friends getting drunk at well to young and dropping acid in NYC. I've met my best of friends through it and lost most of them through common issues in the community (drug abuse mental illness and such) but that has only pulled me closer. People in the community convinced me to pick up a guitar last year I've always wanted to but I was always put down my other people outside the community for my singing. Remember if you shit at singing your not. Your amazing at singing folk punk. I dont know where im going with this but Im glad you see folk punk is alive and well and bigger more diverse and honestly in its best state its been imo. And I'd like to take a second to thank members that have left passed or otherwise from and in the community that makes it what it is today. Matt Pollock thank you for the music and much more. Erik Peterson you put on some of the best shows anywhere. Pat The Bunny I understand you dont align your self with punk and anarchism and more but you are so much more than that giving other a brief sense of hope for mental health and substance abuse even if you felt like you never changed anyone's live and never wanted to the fact of the matter is you did. Shout out to the Fistful of Vinyl crew for showing many bands in the scene and general diy artists on their YT channel. To the people of VRChat for opening your self to the music when you heard it from me or anyone of the multitude of people that plays the music in that game. A friend of mine Naku for being the main reason I play guitar and am writing music. My best friend Ap who has supported me as I grow as an artist I promise when I feel ready that album is going to be amazing. Punk With a Camera for showing many other DIY bands and helping distro music. DIY Bandits for being such an amazing crew the prisons cant hold Pepe for ever. Matt Pless not only for his music but something he did for me he knows that im talking about. And many other people and groups your all amazing. And thank you Alex Nathans for mini documentaries on the genre whether or not the elegy is some one controversial in the scene its a great video of your local scene. May Folk Punk become bigger without it losing its sense of family and community. May your train hopping trips bring you countless memories may the 40oz of beer you have today be the best one you've tasted and the one that makes you the drunkest. May all those basement shows be the beginning all the new groups first recording being amazing. Last of all may everyone in the scene live happy live live long but most importantly be accepting to anyone new to the scene. This world is a scary place lets try our best to make it a better one before it kills us.

pretty good documentary

LEX WHAT IS THIS YOU NEVER TOLD DINGO ABOUT IT!?

hey guys if you want a smaller artist id recommend virtual bird jane renyolds

Annnd, with Days n Daze latest album making the top 100 this year, it's clear that you have more to talk about, my guy. You ain't off the hook! xD Also great job on the follow up. Proud of your work, bud. #first

Laura's deadname wasn't a good move, no one wants to read it, just FYI for future trans artists

Intro song please? Artist and title?

Go to somewhere like Bearded Theory in the UK. Folk Punk is alive and kicking.

2:01 man can i be friends with the guy with the bill cipher hat

Thanks, man. This was great!

I can't believe that in discussing the history/roots of folk punk, nobody mentioned Woody Guthrie or The Levellers.

Definitely deserves a wider scope both geographically and temporally. I can only speak from my experience, but the Bay Area scene between 2005-2011 or so would be just one of the many microcosms worth examining. Blackbird Raum, Shakey Bones, The Fucking Buckaroos, and more... ua-cam.com/video/j_m1oYIE3mE/v-deo.html

I’m live in Lancaster,Ohio planning to start doing some folk punk soon

I wanted to take this seriously but then a group of folk punks from Ohio never mentioned Defiance Ohio.

Days and dayz and pat the bunny were my go to bands along with murder y death but there not folk punk

1:49 pattttttttt

who is the dude at 40:00 ?

Folk punk still isn't dead but we've lost some of are most amazing talent and it hasn't been the same but we're still fighting

wow. great video Alex. had me hooked from the beginning. watched the entire thing .. Ben cracks me up.

Punk killed folk punk.... just as it always does, it starts out honest and inclusive, but grows into an elitist circle jerk of gatekeepers and punk puritans. Lots of hard times and pain brought people together but ends up driving people away. Kids grew up and wanted to get clean and not be broke, which can get you branded a sell out. It became less about the music and more about far-left politics and activism which started alienating people. Social justice and call-out culture would eventually start eating its own as we saw with Chris Clavin and others. There was a disillusionment that some of your heroes were flawed individuals who didn't always practice what they preached. Folk punk has its charm, but it has a reputation of being crusty, dirty, drunk, homeless, smelly, and addicted. And that is like a black hole that can suck you in, chew you up, and spit you out. I still love the heart-on-your-sleeve sing-along house shows and stripped down music but the cliches of punk rock were what killed it.

I just got into this genre and hate to see that there are no active channels like yours. If you are even still checking this channel please upload again my mans.

A truly d.i.y genre deserves a truly d.i.y documentary

This was really good. There were a lot of us bands in the 90’s that transitioned from playing uptempo punk that wasn’t skate punk (kind of replacements with a more punk edge) to just playing more and more country and folk music. We liked Billy Bragg, Young Pioneers, young fresh fellows etc. We were also just as much into hardcore from minor threat to Born Against as well as county.. as skate punk saturated the market we just went deeper into folk snd country. We were also into alt. Country and straight edge hardcore. Anything with heart. Great doc!

Thank you so much for this video. More people need to see this. It freaks me out when I’ve only ever met one other person who likes this kind of music, then watching all these people name drop every single artist that has kept me from sinking these past few years. I’m no longer ashamed to admit I *exclusively* listened to AJJ all of 2017

you wont find em on google but the Sick Prix from 1986 austin tx are the truest crusty folx ever!

Benny Peek looks, talks, and even sounds like Dennis from It's Always Sunny. I bet he's gotten that his entire adult life too.

Also Kevin Devine is alright. But c'mon. Too much liberal left facism. Pat is my hero. I'm a year older than him. But we all grow from our heroin days and really questionour stance on our own lives and realize we're just fucking people, and our hero's aren't really heros. They fucking die. They have flaws, and that's WHY they wrote these lyrics. On top of that they present a better view point of what we might want to live.

Why isn't Woody Guthrie named as the influence of folk punk? To me Woody had the ideas and flavor and drive that today still makes folk punk what it is today. To me I thought this doc was in depth, but its missing the biggest piece. You're only focusing on one era of not only the genre, but the movement itself.

what about woody guthrie?

i loved this it brought up every major topic that is happening right now in the scene and really gave me some hope for the future of folk punk.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this. Please make more, I'm literally taking notes watching this. Like. In a journal. This is really important and good work. This makes me want to take stock of how the scene is doing in Gainesville. It's still definitely here, but I want to know how it's changed and where it's going. Great work again.

While I think this was a good idea for a documentary, if you look at folk punk beyond the scope of your local scene and the older big names, folk punk is very much alive and doing much better than before

Song 1:48 ??
