Arizona has its fair share of folk and bluegrass bands, but none can hold a candle to the spicy flare of The Haymarket Squares.

The Phoenix favorite has been revving up audiences for the last 10 years with their catchy tunes and sometimes incendiary lyrics. They do not shy away from politics or calling out the wrongs they see — and they always do it with their signature biting humor.

Their sound is something in between bluegrass roots and punk rebellion. They call it "punkgrass" and they played some of it for the latest Tiny Desert Concert.

The Show sat down with two of the band’s vocalists — Marc Oxborrow and Mark Sunman — to talk more about their sound.

You can see them at Last Exit Live on May 10, where they will be recording a live album.
