The Dead Maggies

**The Dead Maggies** are a raucous folk-punk outfit hailing from Tasmania, Australia, known for their wild live shows and storytelling steeped in dark Australiana. Blending punk energy with traditional folk instruments like accordion and mandolin, their music rattles through tales of bushrangers, convict ghosts, and working-class grit. Tracks like "Wild Dogs and Flannies" and "Well Hanged" showcase their knack for pairing foot-stomping melodies with lyrics that channel Tasmania’s rugged history and rebellious spirit. With releases like *More Than Just Ghosts* and *The Wild Folk*, they’ve carved out a niche as the rowdy poets of Australia’s underground scene, where flannel shirts and campfire singalongs meet punk-rock defiance.
