Deathgrass

Deathgrass is a high-energy, punk-infused folk genre characterized by its frenetic banjo and guitar work, driving rhythms, and often, raw, emotive vocals. Emerging in the early 2000s, deathgrass drew from Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and old-time music traditions, while incorporating elements of punk, metal, and country-punk. Notable for its DIY ethos and rebellious spirit, deathgrass thrived in the underground music scene, particularly in the US. This genre's significance lies in its fusion of rural roots and urban angst, creating a unique sound that resonates with fans of folk, rock, and punk. With its intense, unbridled energy, deathgrass distinguishes itself from other folk-punk styles, showcasing a distinctive blend of rustic, rootsy storytelling and aggressive, punk-influenced instrumentation.
