Karl Phillips & The Midnight Ramblers - from the moment chipmunk raises his eyebrow to the bit where that tuppenny-bit fortune teller starts wailing and prodding the screen with her fake nails, it just gets worse and worse and worse until it reaches a nadir of all culture. If the world ends by the time this song is over, I won't be surprised. It's like when Cartman sees a family with butts for heads and can't find anything funny any more. I think I'm ready to embrace Mick Hucknall.

Also LOL at badly mimed guitar solo at the end.
yeah i came across some of the Americans while i was looking for UK examples this morning. anyway this is obviously happening so they can all go in here, wherever they come from.

there's a good thread here somewhere which is basically 100 or so posts of clowning some well-meaning US folk-punk melonheads
I can't remember what they were called though and 'folk punk' and 'bike punk' aren't getting me results

are you guys really getting this stuff on pop (using the definition very loosely there) radio? as i said on the dedicated frank turner thread, most of these doobers are trapped in the negative zone of public radio/the internet over here.
(if so, i am so sorry.)
― strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Monday, 7 November 2011 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think Turner's charted yet? I am massively out of touch basically. The King Blues were being plugged on a national radio station this morning, and some of the grime/hip hop inflected horrors are getting serious chart action. In some enlightened dictatorships this

that first one is kinda worth it just for the "SEND EEN THE CLOWNS" line.

other than that i'm just gonna ignore this thread. i don't really wanna know. still plenty of good crst-pnk and crst-grnd out there though.
― scott seward, Monday, 7 November 2011 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
of course. Crusty as a tag in the UK doesn't come from crust-punk tho as far as i know

wait no its the same kind of thing though...
okay i'm confused. i mean crust punk and crusties go together...
here anyway. anywhere really.

I'm kinda with Scott on this one. Here's an excellent antidote to all the horribleness in this thread - Resistant Culture, a Native American grind/crust-punk band from L.A.:

yeah think of the stuff we're talking about as shitty commercial ska/folk punk plus lame anti The Man posturing from dudes on major labels

Just ask yourself, is it Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk or isn't it Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk, if it isn't Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk then it doesn't belong on this thread.

tbf i wasn't happy with the term "Nu Crusty", the shit we were talking about at first needs its own label

True crusties died along with the b/w photocopier.

yeah I gotta say "crusty" to me means Crass, Dirt, Amebix, Life Cycle, A.P.P.L.E., Hellbastard, Deviated Instinct, that kinda thang
the politics are maybe the same but to me it's a defined (bastard) genre of lefty punk rock
also . . . oh god fuck you Ed Sheeran, "crumbling like pastries"? really?
― the tune is space, Monday, 7 November 2011 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
pastries should be flaky or gtfo
― Lars and the Lulu Girl (NickB), Monday, 7 November 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
the only reason 'crusty' has a different def'n in the UK is because there were one or two bands in the early 90s who went mnstrm with it, despite having roots in more or less the same community as the (British) bands Drew listed there
― We All Had Guess Papers (DJ Mencap), Monday, 7 November 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
that is to say, none of these people are crust punx but they do summon the spectre of the Levellers for those of a certain age, ie every Brit posting itt
― We All Had Guess Papers (DJ Mencap), Monday, 7 November 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah, I remember seeing lots of people in Levellers t-shirts when I studied in the Uk in the mid-90s- gotcha- never heard any of their music tho (busy raving)
― the tune is space, Monday, 7 November 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
A lot of crusties were just grebos with worse haircuts iirc.
