About folk punk band names

Folk punk is punk played on whatever does not need an outlet: acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, accordion, washboard. The names follow the sound. Where a punk band wants two hard words and a folk band wants a hedgerow, a folk punk band wants something long, ragged and a little embarrassed about itself, and it often sounds like more people than can fit in the van.

The 1,000 names here are original and written in sixteen styles. There are frontperson-and-collective names with rail yard imagery (Dusty Pete and the Boxcar Regrets, Marlowe and the Missed Connections), mock unions, committees and orchestras (Federation of Broken Capos, Committee for Slightly Better Tuesdays), instrument jokes (Accordion to Whom, Three Chords and a Thimble), anti-landlord and anti-boss slogans (My Boss Owes Me Lunch, Thou Shalt Not Evict), house show names (Ask a Punk for the Address) and full sentences that are sad and funny at once (Sorry About Your Carpet).

The rest lean on old-time and Appalachian words gone feral (Feral Shape Note, Cornbread Insurrection), garden-and-barricade anarchism, mock hymnals, bikes and salvaged food, stray animals, Rust Belt scenery, plain plurals like The Mended Socks and two-word names of tired optimism such as Shabby Miracle. The humor is self-deprecating on purpose: the joke is always on the band.

How to choose folk punk band names

  • Say the whole name the way it will be shouted from a porch: "We are Greasy Lou and the Dish Pit Angels, thanks for letting us play your kitchen." Long names are part of the genre, but one you trip over twice a night will get shortened for you.
  • Match the name to the lineup. A solo act with a guitar suits a full sentence or a two-word name like Stubborn Daylight; six people with a washtub bass can carry a collective, a union or an orchestra.
  • Check how it looks hand-lettered on a photocopied flyer and stamped on a patch. A name such as Rail Yard Hymnal fits a one-inch button; Committee for Slightly Better Tuesdays needs the whole back of a jacket.
  • Aim the joke at yourselves or at the landlord, never at people who have less than you. Self-mockery ages well and punching down does not.
  • Before you print anything, search the name on the music platforms and band listing sites yourself. Nobody has checked these names against existing bands.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good folk punk band name?

It should sound homemade, a little too long and in on its own joke. Names in the list such as Banjo Against the Landlord, Dumpster Tea Society and Rail Yard Hymnal work because they mix an acoustic or old-time word with something scrappy, broke or defiant. If the name could also belong to a polite string quartet or a hardcore band, keep rerolling.

Are any of these real folk punk bands?

The list was written as original names, and well-known bands of the scene such as AJJ, Mischief Brew and Days N Daze were deliberately left out. It has not been checked against every band that has ever played a basement, so search a name yourself before you commit to it.

How is this different from the punk and folk band name generators?

The punk band page is electric, snotty and urban, and the folk band page is hedgerows, choirs and fiddlers. This list holds the collision of the two: acoustic instruments and old-time words next to rent, bosses, bikes and house shows, as in Holler Rats, Rent Is Theft Jamboree or Hymns for the Unemployed.

Can I use a name for a solo project?

Yes, and the scene does it all the time. A solo songwriter can perform as a full collective for the joke, as in Marlowe and the Missed Connections, or pick a sentence name like Sorry About Your Carpet or a short one like Shabby Miracle.
