    I used to/still do listen to a lot of folk and folk punk, and people would always be "oh you would like this band!" and it was always this, to quote Futurama, "Vaguely folkish alterna-rock". I never wanted to be mean and be like "look just because there's a banjo doesn't mean I would like it". but it was always really frustrating.

      You would like Bloodywood. They're an Indian folk metal band that started out doing metal covers of pop and bollywood songs, but now they're making original music and it's lefty AF. Their most popular song is called Gaddar, which means Traitor, and it's about politicians who use religion to stoke hate.

        Bloodywood Not a huge fan but I know some people who might like it so I'm going to pass it on.

        It was good, I just wont find myself listening to it.

          Also one of their tours was called Raj Against The Machine and that's brilliant
