Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Rumjacks formed in Sydney in 2008, playing a kind of Celtic punk that draws from Australian pub rock and Irish folk traditions. Their song 'An Irish Pub Song' became something of an anthem, though it's just one piece of a catalog that includes tracks like 'A Fistful O' Roses' and 'The Pot & Kettle'.
They've released several albums since their 2010 debut 'Gangs of New Holland,' with Frankie McLaughlin on vocals and a lineup that's included Johnny McKelvey, Sean Skennar, Damien McClean, and Gabe Whitbourne. The sound is straightforward, loud guitars, accordion, and lyrics that don't overthink things.
Some have criticized their music for celebrating drinking culture, but the band has generally shrugged that off. They keep making records and playing shows, sticking to what they do without much fuss.
