The Rumjacks Reveal New Studio Album ‘Hestia’

Hestia, the fifth and most recent studio full length from The Rumjacks, marks a new era for the band, the album takes the energy of traditional folk music, lights it on fire, then sprinkles it with ash. Dark, gritty, and historically aware, this is music grounded in the character of the Rebel. When writing Hestia, which is named after the Greek goddess of home and hearth, The Rumjacks applied their diverse American, Australian, Italian and Irish perspectives to create a new, globalized iteration of the Celtic punk legacy dating back to The Pogues, with the punk, ska, and hard rock sounds pulsing through their veins.

For twelve years, the Rumjacks have written songs that you cannot help but start singing by the second chorus, even if you have never heard them before. In this short career, they have released four acclaimed studio albums and two live albums that capture their most renowned asset: their electric energy on stage. That organic energy has garnered them a global fanbase.

With the album’s first three singles Sainted Millions, the album’s title track and Light In My Shadow quickly catching on with listeners, the band is expected to release a fourth single and music video soon. Hestia can now be streamed and purchased here
