AJJ is among my favourites! Some I would recommend looking into:

• Pat the Bunny and his related acts -> Ramshackle Glory, WIngnut Dishwashers Union, Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains
• Mischief Brew (absolute must - my most beloved song of all time is their Coffee God and Cigarettes) + related act The Orphans (especially For an Old Kentucky Anarchist)
• Days N Daze
• The Orphans
• Blackbird Raum
• The Taxpayers

Best of wishes! Happy listening :)

Folk punk as a genre to me is the essence of protest.

HELL YEAH, have had this song on my mind for the past while… In fact, it is the inspiration for my lemmy username!
