Fistolo derives its name from a mysterious devil in Italian folklore, started with a single demo tape, and just happens to put out kickarse carnivalesque folk punk, pirate swing, crusty klezmer and anarcho-jazz. And yes, I did just invent those subgenres of this wide yet tight-knit musical community known as punk rock. Really, we simply release music that we're excited about - yet feel that there's something truly unique about our artists. Whether they be Australian squatters with fiddles, Brooklyn-based carnies with accordions, or Philly rabble-rousers with acoustic guitars and junk percussion...that catchy mandolin riff you hear whilst riding in the back of your friend's van just may be a Fistolo release!
