Water Tower Releases New Single: “Lose Everything”
While this certainly leans more towards blue grass in most of it’s elements both the subject matter of addiction and the honest and energetic delivery allows for me to make some connections with folk punk.

Adrian and Meredith Release New Single: “NFT”
Adrian and Meredith’s new single, “NFT”, made me immediately think of Gogol Bordello mixed with Squirrel Nut Zippers. The song is catchy, dancey and lyrically interesting as they try to explore what is the value of art and who decides that value.

Nolen & Friends Release New Single: “Sailboat Song”
What is the line between folk music and folk punk? Does it matter? Folk often has told stories that are true to life and punk has always been about sharing what you feel to the fullest. So much like I’ve argued that a lot of hip hop is as punk as the most circle pit worthy song, so is so much of recent folk music that fits the punk ethos if not the standardized sound.
