Sydney-based Celtic punk band The Rumjacks are a global phenomenon and are proving you don’t need the support of triple j to find success as an independent band. The band’s first single from their 2010 album Gangs Of New Holland, Uncle Tommy,has clocked up 1,250,000+ views on YouTube and the second single from that album, An Irish Pub Song,has garnered a massive eight million+ views. Some critics have asserted it’s The Rumjacks’ Celtic roots, yet profound distance from the Celtic punk scenes of Dublin and Boston, that has allowed the band to transcend the run-of-the-mill Celtic punk sound.
