 The Rumjacks

Dead Anthems

Danny Boy   three-track EP

(FOUR FOUR)





In two 2025 releases, and to the surprise of no one (but the elation of all), the Rumjacks persevere down prized path, locating and holding up the commonality of airs ancestral and others roaringly crisp. Every sudsy mug is waved aloft, and hearty shouts are belted lustily, as fellowship is rejoiced in and life's vexations are kicked the hell out back.  

And that is sufficient to accrue lofty recommendation. But, as acolytes understand, there is much more than compelling musics to be got from Rumjacks' works. Massive heart enriches, and world-taught wisdom bears heed. 

Recommended, Dead Anthems: "Come Hell Or High Water," "Smash Them Bottles," "Cold Like This" (feat. Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys), "October," "Father's Fight," "Eye For An Eye," "Some Legends Never Die"

Recommended, Danny Boy: "Danny Boy," "Face the World," "Were You Waiting"

Videos: "Come Hell Or High Water"   "Cold Like This"   "Eye For An Eye"   "Danny Boy"
