In the true nature of a lovesick songwriter, ‘Bloodsoaked in Chorus’ is a ska anthem
that belts out in passion. Irish instruments replace the traditional horn section
with the song perfectly blending two genres.

The follow-up to their critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2021 fifth
studio album **‘Hestia’** (which introduced new singer/songwriter Mike Rivkees on
lead vocals and rejuvenated the band’s collaborative spirit, and marked an explosive
new era of energy and creative release), the upcoming ‘Brass for Gold’ EP finds 
The Rumjacks capitalizing off their new sense of artistry.

_“After the amazing response we had from Hestia’s release, we knew we had to back
it up, do it justice and show we aren’t messing around with any of this,”_ says 
bassist Johnny McKelvey.

On the heels of a triumphant months-long tour of Europe, which ended last week and
featured a week of completely sold-out shows in Poland, The Rumjacks are looking
forward to their upcoming stint as one of two support acts on **Dropkick Murphys’**
2022 **St. Patrick’s Day Tour** of the U.S. The trek kicks off on February 21 and
runs through March 20th.

The ‘Brass For Gold’ EP is a clear representation of a band finding a new voice 
and making sure that voice is heard as loud as possible. Grounded by the eclectic
Celtic punk sound that The Rumjacks have become synonymous with, **‘Brass for Gold’**
sees the band dig deeper into their ska and hard rock influences, all the while 
holding onto the defiant energy that ignites their sound.

While ‘Hestia’ had the band conquering a global pandemic in order to record, **‘
Brass for Gold’** saw the boys united in person for the first time. Producing a 
sound that is seamless and cohesive.

_“Brass for Gold is as much as an EP can possibly offer and still be called an EP.
In true Rumjacker fashion, these songs represent a variety of different stories.
The topics range from lovesick nostalgia, to misfortunate war heroes, and a few 
lighthearted drinking songs for good measure,”_ Rivkees says. _“While some EP’s 
tend to be quite experimental, Brass for Gold represents a solid continuation of
the newly reformed Rumjacks. Once again stating (almost literally in some of the
lyrics) we are passionate and dedicated songwriters.”_

From the raucous comradery of first single _‘One For The Road’_ to the crashing 
crescendo of _‘Blinding Flashes’_ to the confident sentimentality of _‘Falling Back’_,
the cumulative energy of ‘**Brass For Gold’** sees the band communicate one thing
loud and clear.

_“(“One For The Road”) Another cracker of a track full of Irish charm with a huge
singalong chorus. Full of all the party atmosphere and punk stomping best that they
brought with the album. This is a band riding high and writing some of the best 
material of their career.” – **Backseat Mafia**_

_“Hestia is a stampeding, emotive, anthemic beauty of an album. It’s the complete
package — and even the Dropkick Murphys cannot claim to have made an album this 
good in several long years” (4/5) – **KERRANG!**_

_“rebelliously dark and gritty… some of the most memorable and rioting choruses 
we’ve heard in forever”- _**_DEAD PRESS_**
