Anarchist folk rock

Anarchist folk rock is a music genre where anarchist is in reference to the compositional style of the band as opposed to political influence. Compositions start in the realm of folk or rock with solid story telling and melody but venture deep into the realm of experimentation. Bands that consider themselves anarchist folk rock delve into different genres from song to song and even within a song. Further specifics include songs that descend into chaos and compositions that use bizarre or strange instruments not usually found in folk or rock music (e.g. custom-made instrument). Some examples of anarchist folk rock are Syd Barrett and Ours to Destroy.
