Punk blues (or blues punk) denotes a rock music fusion of punk rock and blues.[1]Bands that perform in this style may incorporate elements of related genres, or subgenres, largely of either punk or blues.[2] With very few exceptions, punk blues predominantly tends to be an American underground music style in terms of music genres, and is mostly unrecognized by the mainstream, or mislabeled a neologism due to its low visibility. Punk blues can be said to favor the common rawness, simplicity and emotion shared between the punk and blues genres[3] over the politics and lifestylism prevalent within the broader punk subculture and, in turn, it is much more a musical style than a counterculture.
