The Rumjacks to Release New LP 'Dead Anthems' in 2025

Celtic Punk titans The Rumjacks have announced their new album Dead Anthems, due out February 7th, 2025 via FOUR FOUR. News of the forthcoming album’s release date comes on the heels of the band teasing new music with recent singles “An Irish Goodbye On St. Valentines Day”, and the pro-imigrant anthem “Come Hell Or High Water”.

The band’s forthcoming 6th LP follows their 2021 LP Hestia, which was lauded by Kerrang as “the complete package” full of “social commentary, lore and affecting storytelling.” Dead Anthems was recorded in Asbury Park, NJ and co-produced by The Rumjacks lead singer Mike Rivkees along with The Bouncing Souls founder Pete Steinkopf, who has lent his talent to albums from artists such as Beach Slang, The Menzingers, and Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem).  

The band also recently announced a massive UK and European tour for the new year as well, and have been confirmed for the 2025 Red Bridge Festival lineup in Quebec, Canada next June. All upcoming tour dates can be found below and via therumjacks.com/shows.

With the new singles “An Irish Goodbye On St. Valentine’s Day” and “Come Hell or High Water”, it’s clear the Sydney-born-and-bred band has developed a lot without losing their loud, high-energy party-time essence. It would be impossible for a 17-year-old band to have not grown and changed somehow, but the core sound remains intact and consistent across five studio albums, two live albums, and multiple EPs and singles. Their best-known track, "An Irish Pub Song," went viral with over 91 million views and counting on YouTube alone.
