New American Roots - Real Music for the 21st Century. America's cultural evolution and diversity is most palpable in folk music and roots music. 'New Roots Music', as it's called lately, examines the madness, cruelty and beauty of the 21st century. Folk music has always been more than just a chronicle of life in a particular time or region. It was always an expressive vehicle for understanding and processing fundamental questions of human existence. These days, it talks about rampant capitalism, increasing social isolation, unemployment, drugs, war and, of course, about god and love, about life and death.The term 'Roots Music' began to be used since the mid-1970s to draw the line at the commercialized folk music of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Recently, a wild and vibrant subculture of punk-inspired musicians has begun to fuse the musical styles of their ancestors with the sounds and the language of the 21st century. The result is pretty melancholic, with raw and restrained voices, more screamed than sung, sometimes played at a breathtaking tempo, always unamplified and ready to be performed anytime, anywhere. It features Philip Roebuck, The Calamity Cubes, Hillstomp, Scott McDougall, Willy Tea, My Graveyard Jaw and more.
