2008 saw the formation of the punk-folk group The Rumjacks in Sydney, Australia. The group, which is well-known for its boisterous and upbeat live performances, has put out five studio albums, two live albums, a number of EPs, and a number of singles. The Rumjacks moved to several locations in Europe in 2016, where they now reside and perform. "An Irish Pub Song," one of the band's best-known tunes, went viral and has amassed over 80 million views on YouTube. The Rumjacks, a band that was founded in 2008, blend several musical influences, including traditional Celtic folk and punk rock. Later that year, they released their second EP, "Sound as a Pound," which was preceded by their debut EP, "Hung, Drawn and Portered." Legendary punk bands like U.K. Subs, GBH, and Gogol Bordello provided The Rumjacks with support on a global scale.After some early lineup changes, the group remained composed of lead vocalist Frankie McLaughlin, bassist Johnny McKelvey, drummer Anthony Matters, guitarist Gabriel Whitbourne, and banjo, mandolin, and bouzouki player Adam Kenny. They recorded three critically acclaimed albums together, "Gangs of New Holland," "Sober and Godless," and "Sleeping Rough," before Matters left the group following their 2016 European tour.
Additionally, The Rumjacks have toured Europe. In March 2017, The Rumjacks set out on their first US tour, which included appearances at Austin's South by Southwest Music Festival and San Diego's Get Shamrocked Festival Launch Party. The band later performed a 2019 European tour..
