"Bounding Main" is the third single from The Rumjacks forthcoming EP, out March 18th.

"Bounding Main" is an explosive and infectious tune that perfectly utilizes all the best elements of the Celtic Punk genre. Galloping out of the gates with the strong banjo, mandolin, and accordion lead, the track pulses with energy that could wake a sleeping giant. The song writing utilizes modern techniques that bring...

Worldwide Celtic Punk heroes The Rumjacks have released "Bloodsoaked in Chorus", the riotous second single off their forthcoming "Brass For Gold" EP, due out on February 11th. In the true nature of a lovesick songwriter, "Bloodsoaked in Chorus" is a ska anthem that belts out in passion. Irish instruments replace the traditional horn section with the song perfectly blending two...

The Rumjacks have shared the video for "Rhythm Of Her Name". The track features on their new album "Hestia", which was released in March to widespread critical acclaim.

"Goodnight & Make Mends" is a punk rock mourning song of acceptance. It is the last song on the album. Reading through a late friend’s poetry, the songwriter recalls all of the times the two friends casually said: “let’s write a song together sometime!” and never got around to it. Using lines of her poetry to form a call and response, the two friends, now separated...

"Hestia" is the title track and second single from The Rumjacks forthcoming album, out March 12th. It is a song of vengeance delivered with the force of a hurricane. In short, it’s folktale about a girl who shoots down a personified wolf in an act of defence. Draped in several levels of symbolism and metaphor, "Hestia" (named after the goddess of the home and the hearth), is a firecracker of...

"Hestia", the fifth studio album from The Rumjacks, marks a new era for the band. The album introduces new lead singer Mike Rivkees, whose songwriting skills have rejuvenated The Rumjacks collaborative spirit. "Hestia" takes the energy of traditional folk music, lights it on fire, then sprinkles it with ash. Dark, gritty, and historically aware, this is music grounded in the character of the Rebel.

When writing "Hestia" (named after the...
