Fusion of punk rock and circus music. Usually performed in costume at traditional venues, it has recently experienced an underground transition. Heavy distortion and lack of lyrics characterize this genre's unique and ecclectic sound. While is does lack lyrics, much of the energy and emotion is translated through occasional grunts, growls and giggles. Comedic overtones and enthralling guitar licks have been the substance responsible for the explosion circus punk music.
"Black Maiden is the best circus punk band!"
"That guy may be a punk, but he ain't got the circus."
"Let's go to the circus punk club Saturday night."
"Do all circus punk lead guitarists play flying V guitars?"
