I’ll start: They’re more satanic than political, but Bridge City Sinners are a pretty solid folk punk group with songs about everything from mental health struggles to Uruk Hai, including a Jungle Book cover from their early days.
Harley Poe, apes of the state, johnny hobo and the freight trains (Pat), local news legend, holy locusts, the taxpayers, stick and poke, Blackbird raum, Chad hates George (Jesse from Dayz), ghost mice (although there’s a bunch of stuff with their singer that makes me not want to listen to him), and many others.
Definitely one of my favorite genres. Feel free if anyone wants more suggestions.
Thanks for the recs! The Mountain Goats is interesting, as I would have classified them more as lo-fi or even singer-songwriter, rather than any sort of punk (but then I’ve mostly listened to All Hail West Texas and The Sunset Tree, so my experience is limited)
Well, I will agree that punk as a DIY and political ethos is more in keeping with the original spirit of the punk movement, so by that token, The Mountain Goats would fit. I just hadn’t considered classifying them as such.
Are you me? I love Amigo the Devil, and I’ve got HDC and YotC on vinyl. I haven’t listened to much Froglord other than their split with Bog Wizard, and Snakemother is new to me, so I’ll have to get on that.
Also, don’t sleep on the solo albums from Dorthia Cotrell of Windhand. Some pretty solid doom folk
edit: Oh man, the reviews of Snakemother comparing them to both Faetooth and YOB have got me salivating. I can’t wait 'til I get home from work to sit down with my nice headphones and dig in.
when you said “more into satanic folk and stoner/doom metal lately” I had the same thought lol
Froglord’s entire discography is fantastic and they show no signs of slowing down. I hope they manage to do a US tour at some point
Definitely familiar with Windhand but probably haven’t taken a deep enough dive on Dorthia’s solo work tbh
Snakemother is a fairly new band (~couple years young) out of SF/Oakland that has been putting in hard work as a local opener in the doom/heavy psych scene - including for Faetooth a couple times. Their self-titled album is just the right length to play live (just over a half hour long) and I’ve been told that new music is getting published soon :) Hope you enjoy!
Yeah, we’re gonna need some band names here.

Anything associated with Pat the Bunny will slap (wingnut dishwashers union, ramshackle glory)
Big fan of AJJ, Days and Daze and the mountain goats
Edit: For an Old Kentucky Anarchist by the Orphans
Double Edit: Mischief Brew, duh…

Grace Petrie is great for queer folk punk

Tbf, I have a broader definition of punk than most.

♫Cause Baby, I’m an anarchist
You’re a spineless liberal♫
Baby, I’m an Anarchist! by Against Me!
We don’t get tired, we get even, by Pat the Bunny
Lotta good recommendations but I’d add Defiance, Ohio to the list.
Just don’t bother going there. The band is much better than the town
Oh shit. I saw them open for Frank Turner a couple weeks ago. Awesome show!
I have two massive playlists I found if you’d like some links.
Absolutely. I’ve been more into satanic folk and stoner/doom metal than punk lately, but I’m always looking for a new band/genre to obsess over

Hopefully you are familiar with Amigo the Devil, if not please get on that right away
Edit to add some killer stoner/doom: Froglord, Hippie Death Cult, Snakemother, Year of the Cobra
