The Folk Implosion is an American band founded in the early 1990s by Lou Barlow and John Davis.[2] It was initially a side-project started by Barlow to explore different territory than that which was being canvassed with his primary band at the time, Sebadoh.[2] The name is a play on the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The band was on hiatus from 2004 to 2020.
