This is bluesharmonica.com, not just countrybluesharmonica.com, westcoastbluesharmonica.com or chicagobluesharmonica.com so I thought I'd throw some bands with harmonica I like to listen to in the "Punk Blues" category since a few people have asked about it in the forums. Naturally, some are better than others. Some of these are more rock than punk and visa versa. Let me know if you can think of any others to add to the list:

The Legendary Shack Shakers (one of my favorite)
Jason Ricci
Tenderloin (another favorite)
South Filthy
Nervous Turkey
Immortal Lee County Killers
The Sonics (Olympia, WA
The Dirty Birds (also Olympia, WA)
(Some newer) Rancid
Jawbone
Scott H. Biram
Big Iron
Jubal Kane
David Lipkind
SIn City Disciples
Supersuckers
I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House
Woodbrain
Hillstomp
My Life In Black And White
Stomping Nick And His Blues Grenade

Social D

Gotta mention Social Distortion. "It Coulda Been Me" and "Drug Train" off the self-titled album have some killer harp from Eric "Jailhouse" Von Herzen
