Actually, it is not easy finding them online since I found a band with the same name from Chile and... porn. But on the YouTube channel by Mathilda  (see links below), you will find some recordings. Anyways, this post is not about Fuck Frankie but about the acoustic Folk Punk project by Mathilda Sundin  - here is Elvira Bira. The term Folk Punk is often directly linked to Celtic Folk or Americana-influenced Punk Rock. But the term Folk Punk is a lot richer than these assumptions may make it appear. Elvira Bira's debut album "Vispunk" is a perfect example of a mix of Punk and folkloristic soundscapes apart from those common spheres. Mathilda , also known as Elvira Bira, creates stunning and dynamic sounds by merging Northern Folk with a s...

Some of the songs are completely new, others are not.

(that super average random guy) is the solo project by Marcel Raupp aka Mörfh , bass player and vocalist at Würzburg's Melodic/Skate Punk band Danger Jerk . Mörfh  proves to be an authentic 90s punk rock kid who grew up in the countryside, accompanied by MTV, THPS and NUFAN. During the times of the first lockdown, he wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered ten acoustic songs that are now available on CD and on Bandcamp (side note: when I wrote this, there had been only one lockdown so far; but since people are stupid, I am expecting another one). "Moth" is an exceptionally soulful Punk Rock album. Rhythms and harmonies fit the Skate Punk style of the 1990s. This is the Melodic Punk Rock for camp fires, beer gardens, a day in the countryside, or a long ride in the car with friends. The lyrics...

Frisch aus dem Ofen und dampfend heiß kommt hier eine durchschnittliche Pizza auf den Teller. Average Pizza, das sind Johnny Salami, Fabi Quattro Formaggi, und Ian Pinapple - letzters hat auf Pizza nichts zu suchen, aber ich will mal nicht so sein. Ich möchte eines verraten: die Punk Band Average Pizza sind keine Unbekannten, sondern ein geschmackvolles Projekt aus dem Hause Folk's Worst Nightmare. Und dementsprechend ist auch die Musik: humorvoll, schunkelnd, flott, manchmal verstärkt, und auch bei krachenden Punknummern immer mit dem gewissen Bisschen Anti-Folk im Knie. Average Pizza haben für ihr "Cheesy Crust" tief in der Rezeptekiste gekramt. Der Teig besteht aus The Damned, The Ruts und einer Prise Slime. Darauf kommt eine Sauce aus Jim Morrisson, Sex Pistols, Ganz schön Feist, und The Stranglers. Das Topping setzt sich aus The Cure, The Velvet Underground, Acht Eimer Hühnerherzen und jeder Menge Käse zusammen. Heraus kommen 13 Tracks, die man 37 Minuten auf ei...
