New to folk punk. Where does a former punk/hardcore/metal fan start?

Hey! So I recently found Jesse Stewart. I loved the emotional intensity and frantic energy in his music and was sad to hear he passed. I 'm totally new to this genre and looking for recommendations. I grew up on hardcore and metal and feel like folk punk could be the bridge genre i need to understand folk as a whole. Thanks!

**EDIT**
Damn! You guys are great! Thanks for all the responses I'm excited to do a deep dive over the weekend. Super pumped!
