Mischief Brew is the brainchild of Philly anarcho-folk singer Erik Petersen. They play a dirty mix of folk, punk, jazz, swing and country - it basically sounds like a bunch of alcoholic crust punks playing fast gypsy music and working-class acoustic numbers. Erik's voice ranges from quiet folk singer to a Tom Waits-style gravelly growl and his lyrics cover everything from the invention of the printing press to punks getting over the hill, plus the usual shit about pigs, the state, blah blah. If you ain't heard them, I recommend getting Smash The Windows first before getting the other stuff.
