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.

A friend of mine:


Also his stuff's available on CD baby http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/samtudor (and iTunes I'm pretty sure).

Dude's one of the most genuine people I know, if you're ever in Vancouver keep your ear to the ground for him, he's playing some shows these days.
