Yup! Richard Case on art duties. Legendary duo. Though the Pollack/McKeever era was my favorite.

Railyard Ghosts slaps. Trains That Can Fly is a personal favorite of mine.

And I’m glad you’re excited! Me too. I’ve got tons of cool ideas that I can’t wait to share with y’all :)

Hold off til tomorrow. I’ll be getting together a v2 of the intro list :)

The real heroes were the friends we made along the way

Whoops! I uploaded the wrong version. One of the comic servers I’m a part of has profanity rules because the server owner decided having them lead to more respectful conversations.

I was wanting to avoid having the playlist be too heavily dominated by one particular group or artist because my initial intent for the introductory playlist was to give a nice sampling of all the different spaces in the genre.

The idea was to make new playlists either biweekly or monthly that delved deeper into particular artist’s catalogs or sub-genres within the folk-punk label.

That’s a pretty weird take.

The Authority back in 2004 was the exact opposite of that. The Ultimates (2024) is about organizing an uprising against a fascist state. Grant Morrison’s Action Comics run brought the character back to his anti-capitalist roots (which makes sense because they’re an anarchist). Rachel Pollack’s Doom Patrol deals with sex, identity, and introduced the first (and best) transgender character in Superhero media.

That’s pretty classic Celtic rock/punk. You’d probably enjoy Flogging Molly and Gaelic Storm if you like that.

That would be considered classic American folk. A punk cover would go insanely hard though.

I did :)

It gives people options and covers the platforms with the most users. If people don’t want to support Spotify, I’ve got Tidal, YouTube, and a plain text track list.

Pastebin is up

Very true. Give me a little bit and I’ll get that made :)

That would be awesome! Thank you :)

That’s Celtic folk. I love their music, but they wouldn’t really fit in an essential folk punk playlist :)

Noisecore does exist

No, most of these would be considered Celtic folk/Celtic rock, which is different but adjacent. You might enjoy the Dropkick Murphys :)

Thanks for introducing me to Elvenking!

Let’s stop giving NewsWeek any traffic and instead link to Silver’s approval tracker and article . There’s much more analysis here than the rag linked above.

Me too! I got her after the bank I was working at got robbed. I had just moved out on my own and the house was way too quiet. I’ve had her for almost three years now and I’m convinced adopting her was the best decision I’ve made in that time period 💜
