Blackbird Raum - Swidden

Blackbird Raum is a gypsy folk punk band comprised of squatters from Santa Cruz, California. Their lineup consists of an accordion, banjo, washboard, mandolin, and washtub bass. Group vocals are shouted, sung and harmonized. It's hard to describe their sound, as I have yet to hear anything quite like it. Most of their songs have a high amount of energy and are generally pretty speedy. All of their albums are solid and I never get tired of listening to them. While all the tracks are amazing, the ones that stand out to me are "Witches" and "Honey in the Hair". Definitely one of my favorite bands.
