Darius Koski (of Swingin Utters and Filthy Thieving Bastards) follows in a long line of punk rockers turned singer-songwriters. But where a lot of his contemporaries come out sounding like a punk playing folk songs, Darius fully embraces his folk and country influences. The end result, Koski's debut solo effort Sisu, feels like a fully realized folk album with a punk rock edge.
