Anarchist folk punk band Blackbird Raum's spanking new cd, with the songs
turning away, catherine's wheel, lucasville, all turning backs in the meadow and
wait while bones are thrown, to the barricades!, william, the helm of ned kelly,
crumbs, snare, old one eye, conquest of bread, a rat in my dream, and path of
raven.
An all acoustic pre apocalyptic dance party taking cues from the last great
depression to ring us gloomily into the next one. Utilizing banjo, singing saw,
washboard, accordion, mandolin, not to mention vocal cords tarred with train
grease, Blackbird RAUM somehow manages to combine 1920s american string band
music with anarcho-punk, grunge and undeground metal, into a sound that
culminates in scathing banjo/washboard gymnastic two-steps and depressive
waltzes. They have performed anywhere from condemned warehouses and broken down
docks to main stage at Northwest Folklife, playing tunes that are perfect for
coup dÆetats, end of the world parties and funerals. This is punk folk, not folk
punk man!
