Urban Folk is a form of
folk music which combines elements of traditional folk
and
post-punk/new
wave influences. It got its name from the fact that the
songs often reflect
urban life. The style borrows more from the "Feeling" of
punk (i.e. the directness and, often, the political subject
matter) than the actual sound. It is closely related to
anti-folk.
