For The Rumjacks; the enforced global shutdown has presented the opportunity for a new beginning, announcing the arrival of Mike Rivkees who will be taking over as lead vocalist. Mike through his previous work has already developed a reputation as a one of the most charismatic, fun and honest frontman in the scene. With his numerous musical influences from; Ska and Hardcore, through to a mix of traditional folk music, Mike’s voice and songs compliment The Rumjacks diverse musical catalogue perfectly:
Knowing how Mike worked, his energy, determination, hard work and his love and passion for doing this, has added even more fuel to The Rumjacks fire. -Johnny Mckelvey

THE RUMJACKS haben sich erneut über die halbe Welt gewagt und sind wieder auf großer Tour durch Europa. Auch in Deutschland machen die Musiker Halt – nicht verpassen! Mit ihrem Mix aus Punk Rock und Celtic Folk haben sich The Rumjacks eine treue Fangemeinde erspielt. Vor allem nach ihrem Durchbruch mit dem Song „An Irish Pub Song“ sind die fünf Australier in aller Munde. So arbeiteten sie bereits mit U.K. Subs, Gogol Bordello und GBH und vielen weiteren Acts zusammen. The Rumjacks wurden 2008 von Will Swan in Sydney gegründet. Die ersten beiden EPs trugen die Namen „Hung, Drawn & Portered“ und „Sound as a Pound“. Schnell etablierte sich die Band in der australischen Musikszene und veröffentlichte 2010 das Debütalbum „Gangs of New Holland“. 2015 folgte das Album „Sober & Godless“ und die erste Tournee durch Europa, unter anderem mit einem Stop beim legendären Jarocin Festival. Auch die 2016 erschienene Platte „Sleepin‘ Rough“ zog eine ausverkaufte Europa-Tour nach sich.
