The Psalters are a Christian band which began in Philadelphia,[1] in 1997.[2] Their music is sometimes described as folk punk.[1] Notable not only for their music, but also for their radical lifestyle, the group is semi-nomadic (at one point living on the road for five years),[1] and functions as an intentional Christian community. The group have labeled themselves as anarchists several times.
Their lineup, which usually features about eight to ten musicians, is constantly changing, though a smaller group of core players have remained consistent long-term members.[1] Over 100 different people have been part of the group at some point.[2]
Most members go by unusual pseudonyms, such as Captain Napkins or Friar Flute Flakes.[1]
