O Discordia

About Me

Slingers of tales, weavers of passages, the old lore of the road lives on in dusty booted Folk Music bands such as O Discordia. While the pop culture electronic world takes over and hypnotizes us with flashing lights and corporate puppetry you'll be comforted to know that at least two poor boys will always be on your side, walking barefoot on the last of America's dirt roads, guitar and harmonica in hand, bringing the peoples music back to the people. For free O Discordia downloads from their "We Miss You America" Tour LP visit Last.FM/music/Odiscordia
