Harley Poe is an American folk punk band formed in Kokomo, Indiana.
Described as "murder folk" and "extremely dark", their lyrics focus on horror film and related topics.
[9] In 2012, Harley Poe released Satan, Sex and No Regrets on Chain Smoking Records, which was voted best album of the year by Rue Morgue.
[12] Whiteford later stated this hiatus was due to him having issues in his marriage and wanting full control over his music.
[17][18] Their music has been variously described as "a toe-tapping, gore filled, blood splattered romp",[17] "carefully crafted and additively immersive",[12] "creative and twisted",[19] and permeated by the influence of horror films,[20] with their lyrics (which often discuss horror film themes) being described as "extremely dark, demented and twisted beyond belief"[1] and "some of the most deranged lyrics in the genre".
