The Rumjacks

Dead Anthems   Digital album

(Australian Broadcasting Company)



Rousing, full-spirited animation colors their every effort, as does musical adventurousness that spans distance from rowdy-street calls-to-arms to measured sentimentality. The turn immaterial,  connection to olde-world ways and the faiths they cherished roars consistently, as legacy airs are revivified with slam-head Punk.

Recommended: "Come Hell or High Water," "They Kick You When You're Down," "Smash Them Bottles," "Cold Like This," "An Irish Goodbye on St. Valentine's Day," "October," "Father's Fight," "Eye for an Eye," "Some Legends Never Die"

Videos: "Come Hell or Hot Water"   "Cold Like This" (live)   "Eye for an Eye"
