The joy of acoustic folk-punk is that it's a very raw style of music.  Most folk-punk outfits are generally solo-projects and side-projects of various musicians who simply want a break from their usual style of song writing.

Illinois native Victor V-B is drummer of pop-punk group Arkansas? and in his spare time picks up an acoustic guitar tours/records solo.

His songs are lo-fi, simple acoustic numbers and his voice routinely breaks as he strains to hold notes.  Yet there's something utterly pretty about this broken, earnest style of song-writing.

It's youthful, unpretentious and endearing.
