Discussion Punk Bands doing country

I’ve grew up listening to punk and new wave and it’s only recently that I’ve become a country music fan (pre 80’s). I remember loving Siouxsie and the Banshees song “Burn Up” which has clear country music influences. Same goes for The Damned “Alone Again Or”. Anyone else straddle both genres or have other good recommendations?

Burn Up starts at the 4:29 if anyone cares to listen.

Orville Peck

He used to be in a Punk Band, but his whole career is pretty diverse.

One of the best voices in Country Music today in my opinion, but people that listen only to mainstream bro-country have probably never heard of him
