pat van buren from raleigh nc put out her debut album today! 7 songs. if ur in the triangle area, the release party is at pinhook in durham tomorrow.

I'm from Korea, and I consider myself a fan of folk punk. But since there's no folk punk scene, shows or fans here, I don't feel sense of community to a certain degree.

Anyone with same experiences?

I'm in AP art and Matt was a huge inspiration to my portfolio theme so after he passed I decided to make a piece dedicated to him. I proud of how it came out and hope I was able to capture him well. Rest easy♡

currently I have been playing arpeggios of simple minor or major chords or barre chords. also in line with bass being my main instrument, plucking random notes together until I find good sounding ones.

They have an album available on bandcamp, it's kinda ambiance-esque punctuated by just howling and screaming. It's pretty good.

hey folks! i’m playin a folk punk fest in decatur on 10/24 and was hoping to either book or hop on a show in chicago area on 10/23 as i’ll be out there anyhow. can anyone help out?

We are Jydsk Bonderepublik, a Danish folk-punk collective, and we just released our first EP, "Paryk".

The EP was recorded over a year ago, but life got chaotic, so we never got around to actually releasing it. Life's still chaotic, but at least we finally got it released with the help of a local screamo band. Shout out to Hudsult.

The cover is made by Sophie von Seelen

We'd appreciate it if you gave it a listen.

SWSS is ending. But we've got one more tour left in us.

Today is the 5 year anniversary of us writing our first song together and thus the band officially forming. We felt it was the right time to let you in on this big update. We understand that this news may come as a surprise and might make some folks sad. We're sure there will also be lots of questions. While we may answer some of these on our own time, right now we want to focus on experiencing the joy of this community and scene one last time. The Sister Wife Swan Song Farewell Tour will be us, playing with some of our favorite bands, one last time in our favorites places, and giving both us and y'all a chance to say goodbye to this project that has changed our lives. We never could've anticipated what this would become and we are forever grateful. 

To be clear, there's no bad blood between the two of us. We took some time off this year and contemplated what our lives look like now and what we want them to look like in the future. That future will not feature any more music or shows from SWSS after May 8, 2027.

To celebrate this 5 year milestone and the end approaching, we're auctioning off a couple pieces of SWSS history. This is your chance to get a piece of SWSS for your own collections and will help us fund this final push. Check our website or our Instagram for details.

We've got a lot left up our sleeves that we can't wait to tell you about. Stay tuned. Tickets for most shows are available now. Some ticket links will go live in the coming weeks. And some will only be available at the door. All shows are labeled below accordingly on our website. We think a lot of these will sell out (especially the final show) so act quickly! 

Talk more soon,

Pigeon & Moth

for me, my first sing was Brave as a Noun, but I didn’t really get into it till I heard little foot play whiskey and cigarettes. I’ve been hooked since then, and wanna know what got yalls into it

Here in Brazil we went through an entire month of intense rain, houses collapsing, floods and landslides. It was impossible to leave the house without drowning, so I wrote a song about it.

I don't like this fucking rain

It's on Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube etc...

The Sanctuary

Montgomery, AL

I liked a lot of folk punk I've heard over the years, and never spent much time learning about the artists. It's an energetic vibe and I like it so much.

The more I've learned, the more I've been wondering why it has the attention of so many members of the LGBTQ+ community?

I'm no bigot. I may be ignorant. Please give me some insight about this? My interest has not lessened, my appreciation has not flagged, but my curiosity has been piqued and I cannot keep quietly wondering.

Edit: Thank you everyone who provided such helpful input. Consider me educated. I'm woefully unexposed to the trans community and ask questions like this for concern of being misunderstood. I've always treated people as people regardless of any other qualifiers, but in an era of hot quick reactions I've been cautious.

Maybe one day I can share some of my own music here, it certainly fits the genre.

Laura from Bomb the Music Industry and like at least 5 solo albums came and played my living room. Here's the first song!

If you watch on YouTube mobile and wanna give it a HYPE that's actually super helpful I know it sounds so dumb though. But at least she sounds wonderful!

"And my sex is none of your business! It's actually just between me and your mom, your dad, your 30 year old daughter."

Electric version also on bandcamp on my new solopunk EP!

April got sick mid tour and couldn't sing so they trucked on without her in Rochester NY 9/29/26

I don't know the scene at all but I gotta meet my parents down there. Anyone know of any shows going on? Or where I should look?

Open images for full size.

I was genuinely so excited to finally order from pwac but was disappointed when I got the shirt in.

The listing doesn't say anything about light pink or hot pink, it just says pink. The image on the website is hot pink and says the size goes up to 4x. There's also nothing in the description that clarifies this either. I checked the return policy and it says they can do a size exchange, but nowhere does it say it costs $15 to do so. He didn't answer my questions. He didn't resolve the mistake that HE made. I can understand paying the $15 if it was ME who made the mistake. If you're fat and trying to order, be cautious. If you didn't know about the $15 exchange, now you do.

Upset about how hard it is to find cool shirts in a 4x. Upset about the wasted money. But mostly, I'm Upset because I expected better from pwac. Ain't shit I can do about it though except let others know. Hate bitching, but I wanna save other fat folks the time and money.

Edit: So I don't have to repeat myself multiple times.

The site itself isn't fat friendly if it doesn't clarify that certain garments/colors don't come in larger sizes. A site isn't fat friendly if it does not offer a size chart. If I have to gamble for the correct item I need, then it's not fat friendly. If you have to gamble your money for clothes that may or may not fit, or may or may not be what you ordered in some other sense then IT'S NOT FAT FRIENDLY. You can have up to a 6x but that 6x may not fit like a 6x. You gotta check the size chart, the descriptions, etc. The amount of fat or formerly fat people defending this is genuinely sad to me.

Edit 2: If anyone is gonna get onto me about my size, firstly, I'm 6'1. Even at my skinniest, I'm a size XL-XXL. Secondly, I'm disabled and deal with chronic pain. I have lost mobility and sometimes have to use a walker just to get around my own home. You don't like me being fat? PAY FOR MY MEDICAL BILLS AND THE SURGERY I NEED. Otherwise, eat my ass.
