“I’m Scottish born and Australian bred!” sums it up really. The Rumjacks blasted onto the stage at the Oxford Art Factory to warm up for Hell City Glamours last month and I’ve been meaning to give them a shout out ever since. At the risk of offending them and/or their fans by making sweeping generalisations that are perhaps disloyal to the band’s inherent nuances, they reminded me of the Dropkick Murphys. Of course the Dropkick Murphys are American, and their name sounds Irish to me, but heck who’s counting? In any case I’d suggest that you check out The Rumjacks if you like Celtic punk, which I definitely do.

Why not listen to this while browsing the photos?

It’s the OAF’s Christmas colour scheme again! Oh well, I might have clipped the odd colour channel but the band were energetic enough to provide half-decent photos nonetheless. And if you look good in green, you look good in just about anything.
