The Rumjacks - "Bloodsoaked in Chorus"


Irish punk is one of those genres you either love or hate. Personally, I can love it, but a lot of it really aggravates me. The Rumjacks are one of those bands I find myself loving. Their latest single, "Bloodsoaked in Chorus," has a little something that sets it apart from traditional Irish punk. Sure, it has all of the normal elements of Irish punk, but it's doing something a little differently that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Reading the press release explained what The Rumjacks are doing differently here. It's a ska song with Irish instruments replacing the horn section. That does sound like it could be an absolute disaster, but it's a great pairing that makes for a fun song despite how lovesick the song actually is.
