lately I have been listining to folk-punk again. There's not as much as there was in the later 2010's though as far as I know.

Stuff like:

Andrew Jackson Jihad

Defiance Ohio

This Bike is a Pipe Bomb

Ghost Mice

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains

Wingnut Dishwasher Union

Ramshackle Glory

Micheal Jordan Touchdown Pass

The Wild

37 cents

Mr.Denim

Frank Turner

Of course almost all of the bands I listen to play some folk. It's a pretty wide genre. Deer Tick, Current Swell, Jon and Roy, Yonder Mountain String Band, Justin Townes Earle, Robert Earl Keene, Old Crow Medicine Show, etc. The list goes on and on.
